The mass of the toddler is 12.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) =

mass (m) × height (h) × gravitational field strength (g)

1. Gravitational potential energy is measured in (J)

2. Mass is measured in (kg)

3. Height is measured in (m)

4. Gravitational field strength (g) is measured in (N/kg)

∵ A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air

∴ h = 1.5 m

∵ The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential

   energy store as a result

∴ GPE = 187.5 j

- Assume that the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg

∴ g = 10 N/kg

Substitute the values of GPE , h and g in the rule above to find m

∵ GPE = m h g

∴ 187.5 = m × 1.5 × 10

∴ 187.5 = 15 m

- Divide both sides by 15

∴ m = 12.5 kg

The mass of the toddler is 12.5 kg

Ierofanga [76]

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be 1000 + x.

a. Monthly membership fee = $100

Additional amount charged = $1 per hour.

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be:

= 1000 + 1(x)

= 1000 + x

b. Also, if the amount charged is $35 per month and $3.50 per hour, the total cost will be:

= 35 + 3.50(x)

= 35 + 3.5x

c. The number of hours that will give same cost will be:

1000 + x = 35 + 3.5x

Collect like terms.

1000 - 35 = 3.5x - x

965 = 2.5x

x = 965/2.5

x = 386

In 386 hours, the total cost will be the same.
