A cat weighing 5kg is climbing at the top of a tree and has potential energy at 1176kg. Find the height of the tree

Physics
1 answer:
STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

23.9m

Explanation:

step one:

This problem is on energy.

we can proceed by using the expression for potential energy to solve for height h

we know that

PE=mgh

given that

mass m= 5kg

PE= 1176 joules

step two:

we can substitute our data and find h

1176= 5*9.81*h

1176=49.05h

step three:

divide both sides by 49.05 we have

1176/49.05=h

h=23.9 m

The height of the tree is 23.9m

A spring with k = 500 N/m stores 704 J. How far is it extended from the equilibrium position
kaheart [24]

Given that:

k = 500 n/m,

work (W) = 704 J

spring extension (x) = ?

         we know that,

                      Work = (1/2) k x²

                          704 = (1/2) × 500 × x²

                            x = 1.67 m

A spring stretched for 1.67 m distance.

A light plane must reach a speed of 33 m/s per take off. How long a runway is needed if the constant acceleration is 3.0 m/s^2.
aleksley [76]
Given the final velocity (Vf) and the acceleration (a), the distance that should be traveled by the plane is calculated through the equation,
                            d = (Vf² - Vi²) / 2a
V1 should be zero because the light plane started the motion from rest. Substituting the given values,
                          d = ((33 m/s)² - 0)) / 2(3 m/s²)
The distance is therefore equal to 181.5 meters.

A wire is stretched right to its breaking point by a 5000 N force. A longer wire made of the same material has the same diameter
leva [86]

Answer:

Equal to 5000N

Explanation:

The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.

16. The energy absorbed in 10minutes by an electrical heater is 1.5 MJ. The supply voltage is 240 V. calculate: a) The current d
dsp73

Answer:

If by 1.5 MJ you mean 1.5E6 Joules then

W = P t    = power X time

W / t = P   power

P = 1.5E6 J / 600 sec = 2500 J / s

P = I V

a) I = 2500 J/s / (240 J/c) = 10.4 C / sec  = 10.4 amps

b) Q = I t = 10.4 C / sec * 300 sec = 3120 Coulombs

c)  E = P * t = 2500 J / sec * 100 hr * 3600 sec / hr = 9.0E8 Joules
