What is the potential energy of a 2,000-kg car parked at the top of a 30-m hill?

Potential energy is a relative measure, so the answer is dependent on the assumptions we make. The potential energy in the car is going to be gravitational potential energy(PE). PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is 9.8 m/s^2, and h is the height. So PE = 2000*9.8*h = 19600h. The final answer obviously depends on h. Most likely the problem is assuming that 30 meters under the top of the hill is considered 0 meters. Then h would be 30m and PE would equal 588 kJ.

What is the relationship between force, velocity, and mass?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The slower the intended velocity, the closer the force expressed comes to equalling the linear inertia of the load (i.e. the amount of force needed to hold the weight motionless). From Equation 1, force is inversely proportional to time

In this image of a pendulum, where is the lowest potential energy found?
uranmaximum [27]

Think about the formula for potential energy. (Surely you remember it):

Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)

-- The mass on the end of the pendulum doesn't change.

-- The acceleration of gravity doesn't change.

-- The only thing that changes is the height of the mass on the end.

So the potential energy is lowest when its height is the lowest.

That's position <em>B </em>.

A rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s from the roof of a building that is 50.0 m above the ground. Assume
Andreyy89

Answer:

(a) 5.7 s

(b) 39 m/s

Explanation:

(a) u = 18 m/s

At the maximum height, the final velocity of ball is zero. lte teh time taken by the ball to go from 50 m height to maximum height is t.

use first equation of motion.

v = u + g t

0 = 18 - 10 x t

t = 1.8 s

Let the maximum height attained by the ball when it thrown from 50 m height is h'.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h'

0 = 18^2 - 2 x 10 x h'

h' = 16.2 m

Total height from the ground H = h + h' = 50 + 16.2 = 76.2 m

Let t' be the time taken by the ball to hit the ground as it falls from maximum height.

use third equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2 x g t'^2

76.2 = 0 + 1/2 x 10 x t'^2

t' = 3.9 s

Total time taken by the ball to hit the ground = T = t + t' = 1.8 + 3.9 = 5.7 s

(b) Let v be the velocity with which the ball strikes the ground.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g H

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 10 x 76.2

v = 39 m/s

Which is younger, the rock layers or the fault?
jeka94
<h2>FAULT</h2>

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts. The fault labeled 'E' cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B, and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen.
