Assuming that no energy is wasted,
Use the equation Gpe=mgh
Mass*gravity*height
1.2*7.2*9.8=
84.672
(The answer might be wrong I did it in my head)

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Water in an artificial lake held behind a dam

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy that can be converted to kinetic energy, for example, an object at a certain height has potential energy because we can drop the object to have kinetic energy.

Therefore, the best example of potential energy is water in an artificial lake held behind a dam because without the dam, the water will start to move and it becomes the energy into kinetic energy.

A wheel free to rotate about its axis that is not frictionless is initially at rest. A constant external torque of +46 N·m is ap
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let Torque due to friction be

F  

Net torque

= 46 - F

Angular impulse = change in angular momentum

=(  46 - F ) x 17  = I X 580

When external torque is removed , only friction creates torque reducing its speed to zero in 120 s so

Angular impulse = change in angular momentum

F  x 120 = I X 580

(  46 - F ) x 17 = F  x 120

137 F = 46 x 17

F = 5.7 Nm

b )

Putting this value in first equation

5.7 x 120 = I x 580

I = 1.18 kg m²

A 40.0 kg child is in a swing that is attached to ropes 2.00 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy associated with the
o-na [289]

Answer:

A. As the ropes are horizontal the child has travelled 2m of vertical displacement from his lowest position.

Gpe @ A=mgh=40*9.81*2=784.8J

B. At 30degree vertical angle the vertical displacement from lowest position is given by

2-2cos(30)=2-1.73=0.27m

Gpe @B= 40*9.81*0.27=106 J

C: at the bottom of circular arc it's Gpe is zero relative to lowest position as bottom of arc itself is lowest position.

Matter that does not transmit any light.
eduard

Answer:

They all travel at the same speed

Explanation:  the speed of light — in a vacuum, but when they come into contact with matter, they slow down. ... Opaque objects transmit little or no visible light, translucent objects transmit some, and transparent objects transmit almost all, which is why we can see through them.

An apple is thrown across the cafeteria with a force of 10 N and at an acceleration of 6 m/s2. What is the mass of the apple? ..
Komok [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = m * a

The apple's acceleration is not influenced by the acceleration due to gravity for this question.  In real life it most certainly is influenced by gravity.

F = m * a

F = 10 Newtons.

a = 6 m/s^2

m = 10/6 = 1.66 kg. Mighty  large apple
