Yo sup??

potential energy is given by

U=mgh

mg=5 N

U1=5*1=5 J

U2=5*1.5=7.5 J

U3=5*2=10 J

Hope this helps.

A plane flies from base camp to lake a, 200 km away in the direction 20.0° north of east. after dropping off supplies it flies t

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Distance of lake a is 200 km at 20 degree north of east

distance between lake a and b is 230 km at 30 degree west of north

now the distance between base and lake b is given as

$d = d_1 + d_2$

given that

$d_1 = 200 cos20 i + 200 sin20 j$

$d_1 = 187.94 i + 68.4 j$

$d_2 = -230 sin30 i + 230 cos30 j$

$d_2 = -115 i + 199.2 j$

now the total distance is

$d = (187.94 - 115)i + (199.2 + 68.4)j$

$d = 72.94 i + 267.6 j$

now the magnitude of the distance is given as

$d = \sqrt{72.94^2 + 267.6^2}$

$d = 277.4$

also the direction is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{267.6}{72.94}$

$\theta = 74.7 degree$

<em>so it is 277.4 km at 74.7 degree North of East</em>

1) A train accelerates from 36 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 10<br> s. Find acceleration?

Crank

Answer: Given:

Initial velocity= 36km/h=36x5/18=10m/s

Final velocity =54km/h=54x5/18=15m/s

Time =10sec

Acceleration = v-u/ t

=15-10/10=5/10=1/2=0.5 m/s2

Distance =s=?

From second equation of motion:

S=ut +1/2 at^2

=10*10+1/2*0.5*10*10

=100+25

=125m

So distance travelled 125m
