Answer:

The answer to your question is Pe = 2943 kJ

Explanation:

Data

mass = 60 kg

height = 5000 m

gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy is the energy objects have due to their position.

Formula

 Pe = mgh

- Substitution

 Pe = (60)(9,81)(5000)

- Simplification

 Pe = 2943000 Joules or Pe = 2943 kJ

A motorcycle traveling at a speed of 44.0 mi/h needs a minimum of 44.0 ft to stop. If the same motorcycle is traveling 79.0 mi/h
Tasya [4]

Answer:

141.78 ft

Explanation:

When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.

Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 44 mi/h\\\\s = 0.00833 mi\\\\=> 0^2 = 44^2 + 2 * a * 0.00833\\\\=> 1936 = -0.01666a\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h^2 or -14.43 m/s^2

Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.

When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2

Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 79 mi/h\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h\\\\=> 0^2 = 79^2 + (2 * -116206.48 * s)\\\\6241 = 232412.96s\\\\s = \frac{6241}{232412.96} \\\\s = 0.0268531 mi = 141.78 ft

The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.
