Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by the hl theorem?

hoa [83]

The pairs of triangles that can be proven congruent by the hl theorem is the right angled triangle.

<h3>What is mearnt be the HL theorm?</h3>

The HL theorem is also known as the Hypothenus Leg theorem, it states that "the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent."

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:

$\rm AB = 1.5 \times \cos(30^\circ) \approx 1.30\; \rm m$ .

The length of $\rm BP_2$ would thus be

$\rm BP_2 = AP_2 - AB = 1.5 - 1.30 \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ .

The change in gravitational potential energy can be found with the equation

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h$ . In this equation,

$m$ is the mass of the object,
$g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth, and
$\Delta h$ is the change in the object's height.

In this case, $m = 4\; \rm kg$ and $\Delta h \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ . Therefore:

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = 4 \times 9.81 \times 0.20 \approx 7.8\; \rm J$ .

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$
