Answer:

The book gravitational potential energy is 0.0784 Joules.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of book, m = 20 g = 20 ÷ 1000 = 0.02 kg

Table height,   h = 40 cm =40 ÷ 100 = 0.4 m

To Find:

Gravitational Potential Energy = ?

Solution:

Gravitational Potential Energy :

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.

Formula is given by

\textrm{Gravitational Potential Energy}= m\times g\times h

Where,

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height

Substituting the values we get

\textrm{Gravitational Potential Energy}= 0.02\times 9.8\times 0.4\\\\\textrm{Gravitational Potential Energy}=0.0784 Joules

The book gravitational potential energy is 0.0784 Joules.

A woman stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale briefly reads only 0.90
kiruha [24]

Answer:

1 m/s² down

Explanation:

"Calculate the acceleration of the elevator, and find the direction of acceleration."

Sum of forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = ma

0.9 mg − mg = ma

-0.1 mg = ma

a = -0.1 g

a = -1 m/s²

1. A bicycle initially moving with a velocity
ki77a [65]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 15 \ m/s \ or \ 15 \ m*s^{-1}}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity. We are given the acceleration, time, and initial velocity, so we can use the following kinematics formula.

v_f= v_i+ at

In this formula, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The bicycle has an initial velocity of 5.0 m *s⁻¹ or m/s, acceleration of 2 m/s², and a time of 5 seconds.

\bullet \  v_i = 5.0 \ m/s \\\bullet \  a= 2\ m/s^2\\\bullet \  t= 5  \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.

v_f=5.0 \ m/s + ( 2\ m/s^2 * 5 \ s)

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • \frac {2 \ m}{s^2}* 5 \ s = \frac{ 2 \ m}{s} * 5 = \frac{ 10 \ m}{s} = 10 \ m/s

v_f= 5.0 \ m/s + (10 \ m/s)

Add.

v_f= 15 \ m/s

The units can also be written as:

v_f= 15 \ m*s^{-1}

The bicycle's final velocity is 15 meters per second.

If a car is moving on a straight line with a velocity of 40 m/s and it changes its velocity to 60 m/s in 4 seconds, calculate it
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

Initial Velocity= 40m/s

Final Velocity=60m/s

Time = 4s

a=(v-u)/t

a=60-40/4

a=20/4

a=5m/s²
