Which object will have the most potential energy?

Physics

Svetradugi [14.3K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:  the most potential energy ==  5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules

Explanation:

potential energy = m g h

m = mass

g = acceleration due gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

h = distance above  ground

1.  Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g  = 2 g

2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules

3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g

4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g  

10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5

Why is gasoline so flammable
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Flammable and combustible liquids themselves do not burn. It is the mixture of their vapours and air that burns. Gasoline, with a flashpoint of -40°C (-40°F), is a flammable liquid. Even at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), it gives off enough vapour to form a burnable mixture in air.

zzz [600]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. More total rainfall from a slower moving storm.

When the the forward speed of the hurricanes and tropical storms slows down they tend to increase the rainfall. Because of the slow movement the storm can be for few days over a given region and produce rainfall without stopping, thus create major flooding, pilling up of the coastal water, and produce persistent strong winds even though they have decreased in their forward speed.

Julie's psychologist helped her get over her fear of spiders. Which goal of psychology has the phycologist met ?
lord [1]
<span>The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.</span>

A boy of mass 40kg eats bananas contains of 980 joule. If this energy is used to lift him up from ground,the height to which he
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

h = 2.49 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the definition of potential energy, which tells us that energy is equal to the product of mass by gravity by height.

The potential energy can be calculated by means of this equation:

Ep = m*g*h

where:

Ep = potential energy = 980 [J]

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

h = elevation [m]

Now replacing:

980 = 40*9.81*h

h = 2.49 [m]
