Answer:

The answer to your question is:      Ep = 14715 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

Potential energy = ?

height = 30 m

g = 9.81 m/s²

Equation

                Ep = mgh

Substitution

                     Ep = (50)(9.81)(30)

                     Ep = 14715 Joules

Fed [463]

Answer:

B. Decrease the plane’s speed and height

Explanation:

Decrease in speed of plane:

When the speed of the plane is decreased then initial velocity of the package will be lesser. As a result, final velocity will also be lesser because in this case final velocity depends upon the initial velocity.

Decrease in height:

According to law of conservation of energy:

Loss in potential energy = Gain in Kinetic energy  

                                 mgh = ½ mV^2

It means with the decrease in height less potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. As package has constant mass so it will gain less velocity.

the lever in the figure below accomplishes 5.0 newtons-meters of work raising a 25 newton weight. How far,in meters is the weigh
miv72 [106K]

The simple definition of work is the product of the force applied to the object and the displacement:

W = Fd

W is the work, F is the applied force, and d is the displacement.

Givens:

W = 5.0N-m

F = 25N (the applied force must be at least equal to the weight to lift it)

Plug in the given values and solve for d:

5.0 = 25d

d = 0.20m

What is the height of a 2.00 kg object if its potential energy is 100 J?
lara31 [8.8K]

<u>Given that:</u>

       height (h) = ?

       mass  (m) = 2 Kg ,

       Potential energy (P.E.) = 100 J ;

    We know that P.E = m × g × h

                            100 J = 2 × 9.81 × h

                                h = (100) ÷ (2 × 9.81)

                              <em>  h  = 5.09 m</em>

explain which properties of metals make sterling silver the best material for you to create hammered earrings.
7nadin3 [17]

It is malleable

Explanation:

The property that makes metals such as sterling silver the best to create hammered earrings is their malleability.

All metals have a unique and fascinating property of being malleable. They can be carved into any of shape. When hammered they simply draw out and retain their long range ordering of their crystal lattice.

This is made possible by the presence of metallic bonding between the atoms.

  • The bulk of the physical properties of metals can be attributed the metallic bonds in them.
  • Metals have large sea of electrons in them.
  • In forming metallic bonds, there is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms by loosing their outermost shell electrons.
  • Metals like silver have low ionization energy.
  • When they are hammered, they spread out the energy from the hammering.
