Hey! I empathize with you, as I just started the energy unit in physics as well!

Alright, lets list what we know, and which equation(s) we need.

PE = Gravitational Potential Energy

PEg = mgh

m = mass

g = gravity (9.8 m/s^2)

h = height

Guess what?

We need to find the height!

Lets make this more organized:

Known:

m = 40 kg

PE = 14000

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Unknown:

h = ?

================================

Now, if we take a look at the equation PEg = mgh, you will see that we have everything besides the height! So lets solve for the height by substituting in for the variables we know:

14000 J = 40 kg * (9.8 m/s^2) * h

40 * 9.8 = 392  

14000 J = 392 * h

14000/392 = h

35.71 m = h

There we go! If you simply list what you know and don't know, you will find the equation you need to solve the problem.

Have a great day and good luck!

A car accelerates at 3 m/s*2. Assuming the car starts from rest, how much time does it need to
uranmaximum [27]
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Acceleration,a = 3 m/s²

Initial velocity,u = 0 m/s

Final velocity,v = 12 m/s

<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated:-</u><u> </u></h3>

Calculate the time take by a car.

<h3><u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>

According to the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

⇒ 12 = 0 + 3 × t

⇒ 12 = 3t

⇒ 3t = 12

⇒ t = 12/3

⇒ t = 4 sec

You are riding a bicycle home from school. You average 5 meters per second and you are headed south.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(OD) Velocity

Explanation:

Here, the rider is moving with a steady speed (5 m/s) towards south. In this example, we have magnitude as well as direction. Since velocity is a vector quantity, thus we can determine the velocity of the rider.
