The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.
The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.
Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.
The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
1. A-20 km south east
The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:
east
south
Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:
and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.
2. D. 10 m/s
First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have
From which we find the total time of the fall, t:
Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is
3. B=32.32 m
As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have
And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is
So, the closest answer is B.
