The gravitational potential energy is 2526 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field. Near the Earth's surface, it can be calculated as

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object

In this problem, we have

m = 84.8 kg

h = 3.04 m

Substituting,

$GPE=(84.8)(9.8)(3.04)=2526 J$

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

bx−ay=0

Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

bx+2ay=ab

Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

2bx+ay=ab

Solve all three equations simultaneously:

bx−ay=0 , bx = ay

ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

bx = b/3

x = a / 3

So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

[ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

A piece of wood has a mass of 25g and a volume of <br> 10cm3 What is its density?

Tasya [4]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.5 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question we have

$density = \frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m

Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa
