Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

$PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J$

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting

IrinaK [193]

Answer:1265 N

Explanation:

Given

acceleration of motorcycle $\left ( a\right )=3.5 m/s^2$

Velocity $\left ( v\right )=90 km/h\approx 25m/s$

Air friction and Friction $\left ( f\right )=425 N$

mass of the motorcycle with rider $\left ( m\right )=240 Kg$

Applying Forces on motorcycle

$F_{engine}-f=ma$

$F_{engine}=f+ma$

$F_{engine}=425+240\left ( 3.5\right )$

$F_{engine}=425+840=1265 N$

So I don’t really get it can you also explain what’s the difference between radiation,conduction, and convection?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

I think its radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through solids (A)

Convection is the transfer of heat through liquids or gasses (B)

Radiation is the transfer of heat through em waves (C)

A student pushes a 0.2 kg box against a spring causing the spring to compress 0.15 m. When the spring is released, it will launc

german

Answer:

The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m

Explanation:

F = k·x

Where

F = Force of the spring

k = The spring constant = 300 N/m

x = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m

Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N

Mass of box = 0.2 kg

Work, W, done by the spring = $\frac{1}{2} kx^2$ and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ = $\frac{1}{2} kx^2$ therefore we have v = $\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} }$ = $x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ = $0.15\sqrt{\frac{300}{0.2} }$ = 5.81 m/s

Therefore the maximum height is given by

v² = 2·g·h or h = $\frac{v^2}{2g}$ = $\frac{5.81^{2} }{2*9.81}$ = 1.72 m
