russell westbrook has a mass of 84.8kg.When jumps to dunk on z 3.04 meter goal,what will be his G.P.E at the apex of his jump?
1 answer:
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
where
m is the mass of the body
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,

Answer:
The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:
where
is the increment in the y-variable
is the increment in the x-variable
We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:
corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement,
corresponds to the change in time
, so the time interval
Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to
which corresponds to the definition of velocity.
