Blizzard [7]3 years ago

Answer:

0.2 J

Explanation:

The pendulum forms a right triangle, with hypotenuse of 50 cm and base of 30 cm.  The height of this triangle can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

(50 cm)² = a² + (30 cm)²

a = 40 cm

The height of the triangle is 40 cm.  The height of the pendulum when it is at the bottom is 50 cm.  So the end of the pendulum is lifted by 10 cm.  Assuming the mass is concentrated at the end of the pendulum, the potential energy is:

PE = mgh

PE = (0.200 kg) (9.8 N/kg) (0.10 m)

PE = 0.196 J

Rounding to one significant figure, the potential energy is 0.2 J.

What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

2) zero acceleration

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.

In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.

A 1 kg object sits on the earth’s surface. What is the force of gravity between the object and the earth? (mass of the earth = 5
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

9.81N

Explanation:

the force of attraction is given by

F=<u>GmM</u><u>/</u><u>R²</u><u> </u>

where m is mass of the body

M is mass of the earth

R is radius of the earth

G is the universal gravitational constant(6.67x10-¹¹)

hence we substitute the values in the formula.

A young woman walks up 55 steps to the top of a water slide. She slides
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

potential energy PE = M g h

KE at bottom = 1/2 M V^2

Regardless of the slope of the slide the change in energy is the same

1/2 V^2 = g h

V = (2 g h)^1/2 = (2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10 m)^1/2 = 14 m / s

Perhaps the question says that h = 55 * .1 = 5.5 m

Then V = (2 * 9.8 * 5.5) = 10.4 m/s
