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!

Two equal charges with magnitude Q and Q experience a force of 12.3442 when held at a distance r. What is the force between two
Pepsi [2]

Answer:197.504 N

Explanation:

Given

Two Charges with magnitude Q experience a  force of 12.344 N

at distance r

and we know Electrostatic force is given

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F=\frac{kQ\cdot Q}{r^2}

F=\frac{kQ^2}{r^2}

Now the magnitude of charge is 2Q and is at a distance of \frac{r}{2}

F'=\frac{k2Q\cdot 2Q}{\frac{r^2}{2^2}}

F'=16F

F'=197.504 N

A 300W hot plate produces 45,000 J of thermal energy while operating for 2 min. What is the efficiency of this devide? it need t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: P = 300 W   and t = 2 min = 120 s

Energy Q = Pt = 300 W · 120 s = 36 000 J.

Thus, plate can not produce 45 000 J heat.
