The gravitational potential energy of the rock is:

490 J at 50 m

196 J at 20 m

9.8 J at 1 m

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

For an object near the Earth's surface, the GPE is given by

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity at Earth's surface

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the rock in this problem,

m = 1 kg

So its GPE at h = 50 m is

$GPE(50)=(1)(9.8)(50)=490 J$

The GPE at h = 20 m is

$GPE(20)=(1)(9.8)(20)=196 J$

While the GPE at h = 1 m is

$GPE(1)=(1)(9.8)(1)=9.8 J$

Nothing happens to the pitch of a cell phone ring when the amplitude
of a sound wave increases.

Pitch and amplitude are both characteristics of a wave, but they're not
connected, and they don't influence each other.

A 50.0 kg crate is pulled 375 N of force applied to a rope. The crate slides without friction.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Hi there!

We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.

Recall that:

$\large\boxed{W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2}$

The initial kinetic energy is 0 J because the crate begins from rest, so we can plug in the given values for mass and final velocity:

$W = \frac{1}{2}(50)(5.61^2) = 786.8025 J$

Now, we can define work:

$\large\boxed{W = Fdcos\theta}}$

Now, plug in the values:

$786.8025 = Fdcos\theta\\\\786.8025 = (375)(3.07)cos\theta$

Solve for theta:

$cos\theta = .6834\\\theta = cos^{-1}(.6834) = \boxed{46.887^o}$

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:
