s. A tourist is obviously using the elevator to reach their hotel room and after a long ride finally arrives at the correct floor, where the tourist has − 2.01 × 10 5 J −2.01×105 J of potential energy. If the 86.4 kg 86.4 kg tourist has zero potential energy at the top of the building, how high ( h ) (h) is the hotel room from the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m / s 2 .

Answer:

h = height of the hotel room from the ground floor = 237.4m

Explanation:

Change in Potential Energy of tourist = ΔPE = PE2 – PE1 = mgh

PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the ground floor

PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the top (hotel room)

Given

PE1 = − 2.01 × 10⁵ J

PE2 = 0J

PE2 – PE1 = mgh

0 – (− 2.01 × 10⁵ J) = mgh

2.01 × 10⁵ J = 86.4×9.8×h

h = 2.01 × 10⁵/(86.4×9.8) = 237.4m

Your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms, In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 0.3 m/sec2, what force
garri49 [273]
Remember Newton's second law: F=ma

to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2

conveniently, we don't need to convert units

we just need to multiply the two to get the force

65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N

if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N

Answer:

Explanation:distance-time =speed

a,V =s/t

V=2m/2s

V=1m/s

b,v=s/t

V=80m/40s

V= 2m/s

The average speed is 2m/s

You want to put a new CD in your car stereo.While driving at 45 mi/h,you look away for 2.0s.What distance (in miles) do you driv
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

You drive 0.025 miles blind (or 132 ft)

Explanation:

(distance) = (speed) x (time)

(distance blind) = (speed) x (time looking for CD)

(distance blind) = (45 mi/hr) x (2 s) x (1/3600 hr/s) = 0.025 miles = 132 ft

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. Iron oxide is nothing but a compound of iron and oxygen. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.
