A mass of 2000 kg is raised 2.0 m in 10 seconds. What is the potential energy of the mass at this height?

1 answer:

4 0

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the amount of energy an object possesses at a given height above the Earth's surface. The equation for gravitational energy is E = mgh. Here, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the Earth's surface. Hence, the answer is E = 2000kg x 9.81m/s^2 x 2m = 39240 Joules.

Frim the castle wall 20 m high shot an arrow. The initial speed of the bow is 45 m/s directed 40 degrees above horizontal. Find

True [87]

Answer:

Range of arrow = 225.09 meter

Final horizontal velocity = 34.47 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken, a is the acceleration and s is the displacement.
