Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
Answer:
s=800 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Acceleration of a runner, a = 4 m/s²
Time, t = 20 seconds
We need to find the distance covered by her. Initially, she was at rest. It means its initial velocity is equal to 0. So, using second equation of motion as follows :

Herre, u = 0

So, she will cover a distance of 800 m.
Answer:It is an Endothermic reaction
Explanation:
Exothermic reaction
An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy in the form of heat or light.
Endothermic reaction
An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs energy in the form of heat or light.
Answer:
in the direction of the first body
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of the first ball,

- velocity of the first ball,

- mass of the second ball,

- velocity of the second ball,

<u>Now for the head-on inelastic collision:</u>

(since the bodies combine after an inelastic collision.)

in the direction of the first body. (Since the net result is positive as assumed in the equation for the first body)
