A ball held 2.0 meters above the floor has 59 joules of potential energy the bald mass is about

Physics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mass of ball = 3.0102 Kg.

Explanation:

Potential energy at height h is given by

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the body

g is the the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8 m/s^2

h is the height from surface level

PE is potential energy

In the problem given h = 2 meters

PE = 59 joules

59 = m*9.8*2

=> m = 59/9.8*2 = 3.0102 Kg

Thus, mass of ball is 3.0102 Kg.

When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.

What is the length of a spring that has 450J of potential energy and a spring constant of 650N/m?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Δx = 1.2 m

Explanation:

The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²

Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m

The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.

A satellite omass1000 kg moves in a circular orbit of radius 8000 km round the earth,assumed to be a sphere of radius 6400 km. C
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

ΔE = 37.8 x 10^9 J

Explanation:

The energy required will increased the potential energy and increase the kinetic energy.

As the altitude change is fairly small compared to the earth radius, we can ASSUME that the average gravity will be a good representative

Gravity acceleration at altitude would be 9.8(6400²/8000²) = 6.272 m/s²

G(avg) = (9.8 + 6.272)/2 = 8.036 m/s²

ΔPE = mG(avg)Δh = 1000(8.036)(8e6 - 6.4e6) = 12.857e9 J

The centripetal force at orbit must be equal to the gravity force

mv²/R = mg'

v²/8.0e6 = 6.272

v² = (6.272(8.0e6)) = 50.2e6 m²/s²

The maximum velocity when resting on earth at the equator is about 460 m/s.

The change in kinetic energy is

ΔKE = ½m(vf² - vi²)(1000)

ΔKE = ½(1000)(50.2e6 - 460²) = 25e9 J

Total energy increase is

25e9 + 12.857e9 = 37.8e9 J
