Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy: This is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to it's position in the gravitational field. The S.I unit is Joules(J).

Applying,

E.p = mgh..................... Equation 1

Where E.p = Gravitational potential Energy, m = mass of the object, h = height of the object above the surface of the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2.5 kg, h = 300 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E.p = 2.5(300)(9.8)

E.p = 7350 J.

Select the choice that best completes the following sentence. When an axe is used to chop wood, A. the axe blade acts as a wedge

Firdavs [7]

Answer: C
<span>
An axe is a mechanical device with two inclined planes, thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge and when it is used to chop wood, the axe blade acts as a wedge and changes the direction of the input force. When the axe blade penetrates the wood, a portion of the downward force of the blade is changed to sideways forces, which are perpendicular to each external of the blade and the sideways forces cause the wood to split in contrasting directions.</span>

A level test track has a coefficient of road adhesion of 0.80, and a car being tested has a coefficient of rolling friction that

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

the unloaded braking efficiency is 84.6 %

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

by Ignoring aerodynamic resistance; we can find the theoretical stopping distance using the following formula

S = (Y $_{b}$ ( V₁² - V₂²)) / ( 2g( ηbμ + $f_{rl}$ ± sin∅ $_{g}$ ))

now given that the tracked is levelled, ∅ $_{g}$ = 0, also Y $_{b}$ = 1.04 for level or flat road

Speed V₁ = 60mil/hr = (60×5280)/(1×60×60) = 316800ft/3600s = 88ft/s

now, we substitute in our values to get the braking efficiency;

180ft = (1.04( (88ft/s)² - 0²)) / ( 2(32.2( (ηb/100)(0.80) + (0.018) ± sin(0°)))

180ft = 8053.76 / ( 64.4)(0.008ηb + 0.018)

180ft = 8053.76 / ( 0.5152ηb + 1.1592)

180( 0.5152ηb + 1.1592) = 8053.76

( 0.5152ηb + 1.1592) = 8053.76 /180

0.5152ηb + 1.1592 = 44.7431

0.5152ηb = 44.7431 - 1.1592

0.5152ηb = 43.5839

ηb = 43.5839 / 0.5152

ηb = 84.596 ≈ 84.6 %

Therefore, the unloaded braking efficiency is 84.6 %

What is the basis for analyzing an energy transfer diagram? The mechanical energy input and output must be equal. Heat must alw

lapo4ka [179]

An Energy Transfer Diagram is also known as Sankey diagram and this shows the input energy taken in and the transformation of the output energy in another form. Therefore the basis for analyzing an energy transfer diagram would be the sum of all outputs must equal the input. Therefore, it is the third option. Hope this answer helps.
