what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg

2 answers:

6 0

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

Weight force is equal to mass times the acceleration of gravity. Since we're close on earth gravity is about 9.8 m/s^2. Multiply 9.8 by 60 and you will get 588 N. The potential emergy doesn't really matter here (unless you were on a different planet with different acceleration of gravity and given a height about the ground).

A cylinder of mass 14.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed o

aev [14]

Answer:

a) 567J

b) 283.5J

c)850.5J

Explanation:

The expression for the translational kinetic energy is,

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substitute,

14kg for m

9m/s for v

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} (14) (9)^2\\= 567J$

The translational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 567J

(B)

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is,

$E_R = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2$

The expression for the moment of inertia of the cylinder is,

$I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2$

The expression for angular velocity is,

$w = \frac{v}{r}$

substitute

1/2mr² for I

and vr for w

in equation for rotational kinetic energy as follows:

$E_R = (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{2} mr^2)(\frac{v}{r} )^2$

$= \frac{mv^2}{4}$

$E_R = \frac{14 \times 9^2 }{4} \\\\= 283.5J$

The rotational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 283.5J

(c)

The expression for the total energy is,

$E = E_r + E_R\\\\$

substitute 567J for E(r) and 283.5J for E(R)

$E = 567J + 283.5\\= 850.5J$

The total energy of the cylinder is 850.5J

A 4,000 kg truck is moving at +10 m/s hits a 1500 kg parked car which moves off at +10 m/s. What is the velocity of the truck

Igoryamba

Answer:

10m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentums

M1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Substitute.

4000(10)+1500(10) = (4000+1500)v

40,000+15,000 = 5,500v

55000 = 5500v

v = 55000/5500

v= 10m/s

Hence the velocity of the truck after Collision is 10m/s

The electric field direction is defined by the direction of the force felt by

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

By a positive charge

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector consisting of a magnitude and a direction.

- The magnitude of the field depends on the configuration of the field: for example, for the electric field produced by a single point charge, it is

$E=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the magnitude of the charge, r is the distance from the charge.

- The direction of the field corresponds to the force that a positive charge would feel in that field. For example, the electric field produced by a single-point positive charge points away from the charge itself: this is because a positive test charge placed in this field would feel a repulsive force, so it would move away from the source of the field. Vice-versa, the electric field produced by a single-point negative charge points towards the charge itself: this is because a positive test charge placed in this field would feel an attractive force, so it would move towards the source of the field.
