Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)

A force of 8 N is used to drag a chair 2.5 metres across a room. Calculate the work done to move the chair.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

GIVEN

Force (F) = 8 N

Distance (d) = 2.5 metres

Work done = ?

WE know we have the formula

work done = F * d

Work done = 8 * 2.5

                   = 20 Joule

Hope it helps :)

What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.

Explanation:

  • When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
  • The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
  • The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
  • The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
  • When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
  • When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
  • Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.

A girl runs 40m due south in 40 seconds an d then 20m due north in 10 secondsCalculate.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = 0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance/total time

Average speed = (40 + 20)/(40 + 10)

Average speed = 60/50

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = displacement/time

Now, she ran 40 m south and ran 20 m back north which is in the direction of where she began the journey.

Thus;

Displacement = 40 - 20 = 20 m

Average velocity = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s

A wave has frequency of 10,000 Hz and a wave length of 2cm. Calculate the speed.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:20,000 m/s

Explanation: the formula is f=v/lambda so you would do 10,000=v/2 and you multiple the 2 to 10,000 since you were originally dividing and you get 20,000 and your unit is m/s
