You are at the edge of a diving board that is 9 meters above the water. If you weigh 500 Newtons, what is your potential energy?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

4500 J

Explanation:

First, let's define some equations and derivations.

Our potential energy formula is:

  • \displaystyle U = mgh

Where <em>m </em>is mass (in kg), <em>g</em> is the gravitational constant (in m/s²), and <em>h</em> is height (in m).

We also know that <em>mg</em> is equal to the weight of an object (in N), from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma (Force is equal to [constant] mass times acceleration).

Therefore, we can simply substitute force into the equation:

  • \displaystyle U = Fh

Where <em>F</em> is the force (in N) and <em>h</em> is still height (in m).

Now we can calculate the amount of potential energy in our system, measured in joules.

Substitute in the given variables, F = 500 N and h = 9 m:

  • \displaystyle U = (500 \ N)(9 \ m)

Using simple Pre-Algebra rules, we find that:

  • \displaystyle U = 4500 \ J

This tells us that the we have 4500 joules of potential energy when I am 9 meters above the water on the edge of the diving board.

A .5 kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a .8 kg toy car that is traveling at 2 m/s what is the
Viktor [21]
Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s
