A car is raised on a lift at a service station (so it has some amount of gravitational potential energy relative to the ground).

If it were raised twice as high, how much gravitational potential energy would it have compared with what it had at the first height?

Answer:Twice

Explanation:

It is given that car is raised on a lift with respect to ground.

Suppose car is raised by a height of h m from ground having mass m so gain in Potential Energy by car is

Gain in P.E._1=m\times g\times h

Now if it were raised twice as high,i.e. 2 h height from ground then gain in Gravitational Potential Energy

=m\times g\times 2h

P.E._2=2m\cdot g\cdot h

It is clear that P.E._2=2\cdot P.E._1

Thus in second case gain in Potential Energy is twice as compared to first case

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp
Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)

given that

m_1 = 5 ounce

m_2 = 32 ounce

For ball the change in speed will be

v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph

now from above equation

5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v

\Delta v = 6.72 mph

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph
