39.2 J
Explanation:
Step 1:
To find the potential energy the following formula is used.
Potential Energy = m × g × h
Where,
m = Mass
g = Acceleration due to gravity
h = Height
Step 2:
Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m
Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)
= 39.2 J
Answer:
a) U = 735 J
, b) U = 125.7 J
, c) U = 0 J
Explanation:
The gravitational power energy is
U = mg y - mg y₀
The last value is a constant, for simplicity we can make it zero, if the lowest point is at the origin of the coordinate system, which in this case we will place in the lowest part
a) Rope is horizontal
The height in this case is the same length of the rope
y = 2.10 m
w = mg = 350 N
U = 350 2.10
U = 735 J
b) when the angle is 34º
y = L - L cos 34
y = L (1- cos34)
y = 2.10 (1- cos 34)
y = 0.359 m
U = 350 0.359
U = 125.7 J
c) in this case this point coincides with the reference system
y = 0
U = 0 J
Power is the rate at which work is done (2nd option)
"Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral and/or organic particles (detritus) to settle and accumulate or minerals to precipitate from a solution."
