A 24 kg rock is resting on the floor. How much potential energy does it have?

1 answer:

7 0

Relative to the floor it's resting on, its height is zero,
so its potential energy is zero.

Relative to the next floor down, its height could be
three or four meters, and it could have plenty of
potential energy ... if you cut out a circle in the floor
all around the rock, and let it fall to next floor down,
it could really do some damage. Look out below ! !

GrogVix [38]

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }$
This is the period of a pendulum. Notice the mass doesn't matter. Plugging in your values and 9.81m/s^2 for g, gives
T=10.7731s.

A stone of weight 10N falls from the top of a 250m high cliff. a) Calculate how much work is done by the force of gravity in pul

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

work done = ( force × displacement)

(a)The force acting on the block is it's self weight and displacement is equal to height of the tower.

work done by gravity = (250 × 10) = 2500 joule

(b) The work done by gravity 2500 joule is transferred to the object in the form of it's kinetic energy.

A ball is tossed up in the air. at its peak, it stops before beginning to fall. the ball at its peak has

Arte-miy333 [17]

The projectile (ball) reaches an instantaneous vertical speed (Vy) of zero at maximum height.

so, V(max height) = ¬Г(Vx)^2+(Vy)^2
in this case V(max height) = Vx, where Vy=0

The maximum height, Yf, can be solved using Vfy^2=Viy^2 + 2gy. At maximum height Vfy=0.
