Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>

<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>

<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>

<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>

<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328

0J

According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Remember, potential energy is calculated using height and weight. If the ball is on the ground, height is 0.

When measuring accelerations with three different graphs (x-t, v-t, a-t) which gives the most reliable results and why?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Explanation:

The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some

Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable

v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration

Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.

In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-963.93 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.903\ s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 393=0\times 0.0903+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.903^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{393\times 2}{0.903^2}\\\Rightarrow a=963.93\ m/s^2

The acceleration of Superman would be -963.93 m/s² from Lois' perspective
