Answer:
Explanation:
check attachment for the solution.
A non-moving bike has wheels that aren't spinning and zero angular momentum, which makes it very easy for external torque to change the wheels' direction, making the bike harder to balance. Even when staying relatively motionless, though, a rider can balance a bike with some effort.
The equation for potential energy is denoted as;
Pe = mgh,
where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;
h = (Pe)/(mg)
Plug in your given units, and solve!
Post-check:
h = Pe/mg
h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)
h = appr. 49.5 meters
Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.
Possibly, if you have list of densities and you have to match it. I can't think of any other scenarios in which it would be able to.
Hope I helped! :)
