Potential energy = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

PE = (60 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (10 m)

PE = (60 · 9.8 · 10) · (kg · m²/s² )

PE = 5,880 joules

Using newtons second law of motion, how fast for 100 KG object accelerates 350 N of force is applied to

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.5m/s^2

Explanation:

From Newton's second Law of Motion

F = ma

Where F is the applied force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

F = 350 N

Mass = 100kg

350N = 100×a

a = 350/100

a = 3.5m/s^2

The acceleration of the object will be 3.5m/s^2

A 2.93 kg particle has a velocity of (2.98 i hat - 3.98 j) m/s.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

a) The x and y components of the momentum are $8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.

Explanation:

a) The vectorial equation of momentum is represented by the following expression:

$\vec p = m\cdot \vec v$ (1)

Where:

$\vec p$ - Vector momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

$m$ - Mass of the particle, measured in kilograms.

$\vec v$ - Vector velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 2.93\,kg$ and $\vec v = 2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]$ , then the momentum is:

$\vec p = (2.93)\cdot (2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j})\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]$

$\vec p = 8.731\,\hat{i}-11.661\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]$

The x and y components of the momentum are $8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of momentum are represented by the following expressions:

$\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{p_{x}^{2}+p_{y}^{2}}$ (2)

$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{p_{y}}{p_{x}} \right)$ (3)

Where:

$\|\vec p\|$ - Magnitude of momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

$\theta$ - Direction of momentum, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that $p_{x} = 8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $p_{y} = -11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , then the magnitude and direction of momentum are, respectively:

$\|\vec p\| = \sqrt{\left(8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$\|\vec p\| \approx 14.567\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

$\theta =\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} }{8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} } \right)$

$\theta \approx 306.823^{\circ}$

The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.
