7 0

Answer: D.) 39,200 J

Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height. In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

$P.E.=(400kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2} )(10m)=39,200 J$

P.E.= 39,200 Joules

Answer:

c. 1600J

Explanation:

The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:

$U=mg \Delta h$

where

m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

$\Delta h = 4 m + 0.02 m = 4.02 m$ is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta U = (40 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.02 m) = 1577 J \sim 1600 J$
