Answer:

The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of cat = 7 kg

Height of bookshelf = 2 m

The gravitational potential energy :

The gravitational potential energy is the product of the mass of the object, gravity and height of the object from the ground.

The gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is

P.E = mgh-0

P.E = 7\times9.8\times2-0

P.E=137.2\ J

Hence, The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

PE = mgh
      Mass, m = 7kg, g ≈ 10 m/s², height = 2m     
 
      = 7*10*2
 
       = 140 Joules.

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ft∙lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m  = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \  \times \ \ \ \ 1   \ lbf\ }

m  = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
