Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the rock, m = 20 kg

Initially the rock is at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the rock is, v = 90 m/s

Gravitational potential energy is given by :

U=mgh............(1)

h is the height.

Using third equation of motion :

v^2-u^2=2ah

or

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value of h in equation (1)

U=mg\times \dfrac{v^2}{2g}

U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}

U=\dfrac{20\ kg\times (90\ m/s)^2}{2}

U=81000\ J

or

U = 81 kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

<span>GPE=81000J or 81kJ</span>

Explanation

Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x ? 

<span>To find H use one of the equation of motion </span>

<span>= [(90)^2 - 0 ] / 2(9.8) </span>

<span>Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x 8100 /2(9.8) = 81000 J</span>

describe the relationship between the direction of the velocity vector and the direction of the acceleration for a body moving i
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a = v²/r

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body moving in a circular path is known as the centripetal acceleration. This is the acceleration of a body that keeps the body within the circular path. It is written in terms of the linear velocity v and the radius of the circle of rotation as shown;

a = v²/r where

v is the linear velocity

r is the radius

a is the centripetal acceleration

Explain how you can use the factors of production to produce a fruit juice in a production company
frozen [14]

Answer:

The factors of production include Land, Labour, Capital and Enterpreneurship

Explanation:

The fruit could be apple, orange , pineapple etc which are usually grown on land . They are tended to by people to ensure there is maximum yield. These people provide the required labour needed.

The cost of planting and payment of workers usually comes from the capital which is often used in running the business by the owner which makes certain decisions to ensure the fruit company is in place. All these factors work hand in hand to ensure production of fruit in a production company is possible.

A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case
vovangra [49]

The frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Opposition forces on the surface cause heat loss during the motion of an object known as the friction force.

Given data:

m(mass)= 10.0-kg

Θ (Inclination angle)=25.0o

Coefficient of sliding friction,\rm \mu_k=0.520

Coefficient of static friction,\rm  \mu_s=0.520

The friction force, F=?

Resolve the force in the inclined plane;

\rm F=\mu_s mg cos25^0 \\\\ F=0.520 \times 10 \times 9.81 \times  cos 25 ^0 \\\\ F= 46.2 \ N

Hence, the frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.
