The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.
The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.
Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.
The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:
∑ τ = 0
Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:
• at the left end,
τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m
• at the right end,
τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m
• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,
τ = + (300 N) d
Then
∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0
⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m
⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on the given information's the answer to the question can easily be determined.
Distance covered by the bicycle = 5000 meter
Time taken by the bicycle to reach the distance = 500 second.
Velocity of the bicycle = Distance / Time taken
= 5000/500 meter/second
= 50 meter/second
So the velocity of the bicycle is 50 meter per second. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure for solving similar problems.
The answer is 0.025J.
W=1/2*k*x^2
W=1/2*20*0.050^2
W=0.025J
Answer: 1. 0.25 m/s squared
2. A = 0.4 m/s^2
3.=20kg. I did this before.
