A 0.5 kg ball moving at a speed of 3m/s rolls up a hill. How high does the ball roll before it stops

1 answer:

3 0

According to conservation of energy
Kinetic energy at the bottom of hill = potential energy at top of hill
Kinetic energy(KE)= 0.5×mass(m)×velocity(v)²
where m=0.5 kg, and v= 3 m/s, v²=9
KE=0.5×0.5×9=2.25 J = PE
PE=m×gravitational acceleration(g)×height(h)
h=2.25/(0.5×9.8)=0.459 m

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Mercury, \ Uranus, \ Earth, \ Neptune}}$

Explanation:

Earth ⇒ 9.8 m/s²

Mercury ⇒ 3.7 m/s²

Neptune ⇒ 11.2 m/s²

Uranus ⇒ 8.9 m/s²

$W=m \times g$

$\sf {Weight=mass \times acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity}$

The weight of a person can differ on different planets, but the mass stays the same. The greater the acceleration due to gravity, the greater the weight.

Arranging the planets in increasing order based on a person’s weight on the planet:

Mercury, Uranus, Earth, Neptune

A weight lifter lifts a 345 N set of weights from ground level to a position over his head, a vertical distance of 1.89 m. How m

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:652.05 J

Explanation:

Given

Weight of lifter $W=345 N$

vertical distance move $h=1.89 m$

Work done in lifting the weight is equal change in Potential Energy of weight

Change in Potential Energy $=m g h$

$\Delta PE=345 \times 1.89=652.05 J$

therefore work done is equal to $652.05 J$

zmey [24]

This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.
