Answer:

126 J

Explanation:

The potential energy only depends on the vertical height from the ground level.

We consider the ground level to have zero P.E.

We get, when it is 4.5 m above the ground level,

P.E. = mgh

= 2.8×10×4.5

= 126 J

The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 k

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

28716.4740661 N

1.2131147541 m/s

51.2474965841%

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg

s = Displacement = 3.7 m

f = Frictional force = 14000 N

t = Time taken = 6.1 s

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3.7=0\times 6.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.7\times 2}{6.1^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.198871271164\ m/s^2$

Force is given by

$F=ma+f\\\Rightarrow F=74000\times 0.198871271164+14000\\\Rightarrow F=28716.4740661\ N$

The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.198871271164\times 6.1\\\Rightarrow v=1.2131147541\ m/s$

The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74000\times 1.2131147541^2\\\Rightarrow K=54450.9540448\ J$

Work done is given by

$W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=28716.4740661\times 3.7\\\Rightarrow W=106250.954045\ J$

The fraction is given by

$\dfrac{54450.9540448}{106250.954045}=0.512474965841$

The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19

just olya [345]

Answer:

$3.75*10^{-13}$ electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

$Q=N*q_{e}$

$q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C$ charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

$N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}$

Describe the difference between distance, position, and displacement

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.

Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.

Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.

I hope this helps!
