The answer to the blank is physical.
Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.
Answer:
4.7m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the book = 1kg
Gravitational potential energy = 46J
Unknown:
Height of the shelf = ?
Solution:
The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.
Gravitational potential energy = mgh
m is the mass,
g is the acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height which is unknown
46 = 1 x 9.8 x h
h = 4.7m
Answer:
Explanation:
PE = mgh = 60(9.8)(2.0) = 1176 J
It will be moving at high speeds
