With respect to the ground, the 3 kg object has no or 0 potential energy, as one can compute the potential energy as Ep = mgh. Since the object is on the ground it posses no height and thus no potential energy.
Answer:
Torque=13798.4 N.m
Explanation:
Given data
Mass of beam m₁=500 kg
Mass of the person m₂=70 kg
length of steel r₁=4.40m
center of gravity of the beam is at r₂=r₁/2 =4.40/2 = 2.20m
To find
Torque
Solution
Torque due to beam own weight
Torque due to person
Now for total torque
Answer:
D. Newton's second law
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion states that force of an object is a product of its mass and its acceleration.
Mathematically, F= ma where m is mass and a is acceleration
So from the statement above : The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass , it can be seen from the formula variation as;
F= ma -----making a the subject of the formula
a= F/ m
a= 1/m * F --------- a is inversely related to m as you can see from 1/m but directly related to F hence;
Increase in mass with the same force applied causes the body to accelerate slower where as when force increases, the body accelerates faster.

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:
Speed = distance ÷ time
So plug the given values in:
500 ÷ 30 = 16.66
<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>
