Answer:

The answer to your question is Ep = 73.6 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 2.5 kg

height = 3 m

gravity = 9,81 m/s²

Potential energy = ?

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position, the highest the object be, the highest the potential energy.

Formula

Pe = mgh

Substitution

Ep = (2.5)(9.81)(3)

Simplification and result

Ep = 73.6 Joules

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 76.8 mi/h in 7.62 s. Find the constant acceleration of the car. Answer in un
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                   =      (76.8 mi/hr)    /       (7.62 sec)

                   =        10.08  mile/hour-second

That quantity is a perfectly good acceleration, it has the right
dimensions etc, but the question asks for it in units of meter/s²,
so I have to convert it to the equivalent in meter/s².

         (10.8  mile / hr-sec) x (1,609 meter/mile) x (1 hr / 3600 sec)

      =   (10.8 · 1,609 · 1) / (3,600)       meter / second²

      =        4.83 meter / second²   if you round all the numbers as you go
or 
                4.51 meter/sec² 
   if you use a calculator and don't round anything

How far will an arrow travel if it shot horizontally at 85.3m/s and it is 1.5m above the ground ?
dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a2 + b2 = c2. ... The name is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, stating that every right triangle has side lengths satisfying the formula a2 + b2 = c2; thus, Pythagorean triples describe the three integer side lengths of a right triangle.
