Calculate the potential energy of a 5 kg object sitting at the top of a 2 meter ramp.

1 answer:

5 0

The formula used to find potential energy is <em>P.E. = M * G * H</em> (P.E. is potential energy, M is mass, G is gravitational pull, and H is height). So the answer to your question is <em>5 * 9.8 * 2</em>, which equals 98.

2. A 75 kg runner accelerates from 0.00 m/s to 10.0 m/s in 1.5 seconds.

raketka [301]

A :-) A.a.) Given - u = 0.00 m/s
v = 10.0 m/s
t = 1.5 sec
m = 75 kg
Solution -
a = v - u by t
a = 10 - 0 by 1.5
a = 10 by 1.5
a = 6.6 m/s^2

A 600 N astronaut travels to an asteroid where the gravitational force is one-hundredth that of Earth. What is the astronaut's w

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A) 6N

Explanation:

the weight of the astronaut on earth can be calculated with the formula

Weight = mass * gravity of earth

Since the gravitational force is one-hundredth of Earth, the formula should be

Weight = mass * (gravity of earth / 100)

Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

Since you already know the weight, you only need to divide by 100

Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

Weight = 600N / 100

Weight = 6N

A person walks the path shown below. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths.

dmitriy555 [2]

At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ = 63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

jet is flying at 500 mph east relative to the ground. A Cessna is flying at 150 mph 60° north of west relative to the ground. Wh

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 590 mph

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of jet, $v_j=500\ mph$
direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
velocity of Cessna, $v_c=150\ mph$
direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

$\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph$

$\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)$

$\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

$\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c$

$\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )$

$\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}$

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$ is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane $m=1400\ kg$

distance moved $d=40\ m$

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

$W_T=T\cdot d$

$W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40$

$W_T=548.8\ KJ$

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

$W_T+W_g=0$

$W_g=-548.8\ KJ$
