Potencial Energy=hma
Where
Potencial Energy =E= 54.9J
h=?
m=8kg
a=9.8m/s^2
You need to know that 1 J=1(kgm^2)/s^2

Isolate h=E/(ma)
h=(54.9)/(8*9.8)

Answer: The potential energy for a lifted object is U = m*a*h

where m is the mass, h is the height and a is the acceleration.

in our problem the mass is m = 8kg, the height is the thing we want to find, a is the gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s^2 and U = 54.9j

then our problem is:

54.9j = h*9.8*8 kg*m/s^2

then h = 54.9/(9.8*8) = 0.7m

Then the backpack is lifted 0.7 meters.

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3. A metal sample has a mass of 52.0 grams and a volume of 17.1 cubic centimeters. Could the

Fudgin [204]

Answer:
__________________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum;
since the density of aluminum, " 2.7 g/cm³ " , is NOT close enough to the density of the sample, " 3.04 g/cm³ " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Density is expressed as "mass per unit volume" ;

in which:
"mass, "m", is expressed in units of "g" (grams); and:
"Volume, "V", is expressed in units of "cm³ " (such as in this problem); or in units of "mL" ;
__________________________________________________
{Note the exact conversion: " 1 cm³ = 1 mL " .}.
__________________________________________________
The formula for density: D = m/V ;

Given: The density of aluminum is: 2.7 g/cm³.

Given: A sample has a mass of 52.0 g ; and Volume of 17.1 cm³ ; could it be aluminum?
_________________________________________________________
Let us divide the mass of the sample by the volume of the sample;
by using the formula:
___________________________________________
D = m / V ;

and see if the value is at, or very close to "2.7 g/cm³ ".

If it is, then it could be aluminum.
____________________________________________________
The density for the sample:

D = (52.0 / 17.1) g/cm³ = 3.0409356725146199 g/cm³ ;
→round to "3 significant figures" ;
= 3.04 g/cm³ .
_______________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum; since the density of aluminum,
"2.7 g/cm³ " is NOT close enough to the density of the sample,
"3.04 g/cm³ " .

explain why earths acceleration is usually very small compared to the acceleration of the object the earth interact with

Marianna [84]

Answer:

F-ma

Explanation:

If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:

Force = Mass × Acceleration

often written:

F = m a

The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.

The propeller of an airplane is at rest when the pilot starts the engine; and its angular acceleration is a constant value. Two

Maurinko [17]

Answer:0.318 revolutions

Explanation:

Given

Initially Propeller is at rest i.e. $\omega _0=0 rad/s$

after $t=10 s$

$\omega =10 rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

$10=0+\alpha \cdot 10$

$\alpha =1 rad/s^2$

Revolutions turned in 2 s

$\theta =\omega _0t+\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}$

$\theta =0+\frac{1\times 2^2}{2}$

$\theta =2 rad$

To get revolution $\frac{\theta }{2\pi }$

= $\frac{2}{2\pi}=0.318\ revolutions$

A pipe is horizontal and carries oil that has a viscosity of 0.14 Pa s. The volume flow rate of the oil is 5.3 × 10-5 m3/s. The

Liula [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$\mu =0.14 Pa.s$

Volume Flow rate $Q=5.3\times 10^{-5} m^3/s$

Length $L=37 m$

radius $r=0.58 cm$

$D=1.16 cm$

According to Hagen-Poiseuille Equation

difference in Pressure is given

$\Delta P=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}$

$P_{in}-P_{out}=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}$

$P_{in}=P_{out}+\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}$

$P_{in}=1.01325\times 10^5+\frac{128\times 0.14\times 37\times 5.3\times 10^{-5}}{\pi\cdot 1.16^4\times 10^{-8}}$

$P_{in}=1.01325\times 10^5+6.17\times 10^5$

$P_{in}=7.19\times 10^5$
