A baby stroller is a rest on top of a hill which is 10 m high. The stroller and baby have a mass of 20 kg. What is the potential
1 answer:
The potential energy is defined as the energy is contained in the body due to the height over the surface of the earth and it is calculated from the equation
<em>where:</em>
- PE: the potential energy in Joules.
- m: the mass of the body in kg.
- g: the acceleration due to the gravity in m/
- h: the height of the body over the earth in meters.

Answer:
T = 480.2N
Explanation:
In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.
The forces on the boxes are:
(1)
T: tension of the rope
M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.
By using the equation (1) you obtain:
The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N
