PE=30J, m=?, g=10m/s2, h=10m

1 answer:

5 0

Based on the given, this is probably a gravitational potential energy problem (PEgrav). The formula for PEgrav is:

PEgrav = mgh

Where:
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height (m)

With this formula you can derive the formula for your unknown, which is mass. First put in what you know and then solve for what you do not know.

$PEgrav=mgh$
$30J=m(10)(10[tex] \frac{30}{100} =m$ )[/tex]

Do operations that you can with what is given first.

$30J=m(100m)$

Transpose the 100 to the other side of the equation. Do not forget that when you transpose, you do the opposite operation.

$\frac{30}{100} =m$

m = 0.30kg

A(n) 96.1 g ball is dropped from a height of 59.1 cm above a spring of negligible mass.The ball compresses the spring to a maxim

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ball Is m=96.1g=0.0961kg

Height above spring is 59.1cm

L=0.591m

Extension of the spring is 4.75403cm

e=0.0475403m

Then the distance the ball traveled is H=L+e

H=0.591+0.0475403

H=0.6385403m

Then, the potential energy of the ball is given as

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.0961×9.81×0.6385403

P.E=0.602J

From conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroy but can be transferred from one form to another

Then, the P.E is transferred to the work done by the spring

Then, Work done by spring is given as

W=½ke²

W=P.E=½×k×0.0475403²

0.602=½×k×0.0475403²

k=0.602×2/0.0475403²

k=532.72N/m

The spring constant is 532.72 N/m

Answer:

42.9 μF

Explanation:

V = 3.50 V, Q = 150 μC

C = Q/V = 150/3.50 μF = 42.9 μF

Please help me with this

Allushta [10]

Answer:

We define voltage as the amount of potential energy between two points on a circuit. One point has more charge than another. This difference in charge between the two points is called voltage.
