Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high

Physics
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Potential energy is U=mgh

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy  U=mgh

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

g=9.81m/s^2

h=60m

So, the potential energy

U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.

(8c8p49) A 115g Frisbee is thrown from a point 1.00 m above the ground with a speed of 12.00 m/s. When it has reached a height o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg

Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground

Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.115\times\left((10.9674)^{2}-(12)^{2})\right)\\\\W=-1.36\ J

So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider a long rod of mass, m, and length, l, which is thin enough that its width can be ignored compared to its length. The ro
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rod will act as pendulum for small oscillation .

Time period of oscillation

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

angular frequency ω = 2π / T

= \omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }

b )

ω = 20( given )

velocity = ω r = ω l

Let the maximum angular displacement in terms of degree be θ .

1/2 m v ² = mgl ( 1 - cosθ ) ,

[ l-lcosθ is loss of height . we have applied law of conservation of mechanical energy .]

.5 (  ω l )² = gl( 1 - cos θ )

.5 ω² l = g ( 1 - cosθ )

1 - cosθ  = .5 ω² l /g

cosθ = 1 - .5 ω² l /g

θ can be calculated , if value of l is given .

If an object is accelerating to the right , then net force on the object must be directed towards the right ! True Or False ?
vichka [17]
Not so fast.

I think you're using 'accelerating' to mean 'speeding up', but you really need
to be more careful with it. "Acceleration" means ANY change in speed OR
direction.

If an object's speed to the left is decreasing, or its speed to the right is
increasing, then the net force on the object must be directed towards
the right.

If an object is moving with constant speed in a circular path, then it's
constantly accelerating, because its direction is constantly changing.
The force on it is always directed towards the center of the circle, so
there's one point on the path where the force is directed straight to the right.
