It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:
where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get
50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h
h = 10.20 m
Answer:
50m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 20m/s
Acceleration = 4m/s²
Time = 10s
Unknown:
Distance traveled by the rocket = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem use the expression below;
v² = u² + 2as
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance
final velocity = 0
Insert the parameters and solve;
0² = 20² + 2 x 4 x s
-400 = 8s
s = 50m
Disregard the negative sign because distance cannot be negative.
Answer: the most potential energy == 5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules
Explanation:
potential energy = m g h
m = mass
g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = distance above ground
1. Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g = 2 g
2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules
3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g
4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g
10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5
