A 50kg hiker is standing on the edge of a cliff. Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 30m high.

Physics

Answer:

14700 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem:

m = 50 kg is the mass of the hiker

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 30 m is the heigth of the cliff

Substituting, we find

U=(50)(9.8)(30)=14700 J

azamat

The force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the road friction.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of an object.

Friction is defined as the force that resists the movement of an object over another.

Therefore, the force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the road friction.

A wheel of mass 4kg is pulled up a plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal by a force of 45N applied to the axle and parallel to
Len [333]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Let's assume the wheel does not slip as it accelerates.

Energy theory is more straightforward than kinematics in my opinion.

Work done on the wheel

W = Fd = 45(12) = 540 J

Some is converted to potential energy

PE = mgh = 4(9.8)12sin30 = 235.2 J

As there is no friction mentioned, the remainder is kinetic energy

KE = 540 - 235.2 = 304.8 J

KE = ½mv² + ½Iω²

ω = v/R

KE = ½mv² + ½I(v/R)² = ½(m + I/R²)v²

v = √(2KE / (m + I/R²))

v = √(2(304.8) / (4 + 0.5/0.5²)) = √101.6

v = 10.07968...

For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport. They move the same direction as the wave.

<u>Explanation</u>


1. An indication of how close a measurement is to the correct result is called precision.

2. The mass of a substance per unit volume is called density of a substance.

3. A quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant is called a control group.

4. Anything that has mass and occupies space is called matter.

5. The degree to which a measurement can be replicated is called accuracy.
