Calculate potential energy

Physics
1 answer:
IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago

The potential energy of an object is defined by the equation: PE = mgh, where m = the mass of the object, g = the gravitational acceleration and h = the object's height above the ground.

A truck moving at 13.3 m/s hits a concrete wall. As a result of the collision, a 6-kg wrench moves forwards and strikes the wall
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the wrench must be equal to the velocity of the truck . So momentum of the wrench before it hits the wall

= mv = 6 x 13.3 = 79.8 kg m /s

If resisting force of wall be F , impulse on the wrench = F x time

= F x .07

Impulse = change in momentum of the wrench = mv - 0 = mv = 79.8 kgm/s

So F x .07 = 79.8

F = 1140 N .

A bullet is fired straight up from a gun with a
melamori03 [73]

Answer: 815.51 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the initial velocity of the bullet has only y-component, since it was fired straight up. In addition, we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity), therefore the following equations will be useful to solve this problem:

V=V_{o}+gt (1)

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2gy (2)

Where:

V is the final velocity of the bullet

V_{o}=152 m/s is the initial velocity of the bullet

g=-9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity, always directed downwards

t=6.9 s is the time

y is the vertical position of the bullet at t=6.9 s

Let's begin by finding V from (1):

V=152 m/s-9.8 m/s^{2}(6.9 s) (3)

V=84.38 m/s (4)

Now we have to substitute (4) in (2):

(84.38 m/s)^{2}=(152 m/s)^{2}-2(9.8 m/s^{2})y (5)

Isolating y:

y=815.511 m This is the displacement  of the bullet after 6.9 s

Describe how an island arc forms at a convergent boundry
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Ocean-Ocean Convergence

As the subducting plate is pushed deeper into the mantle, it melts. The magma this creates rises and erupts. This forms a line of volcanoes, known as an island arc
