The equation for potential energy is denoted as;
Pe = mgh,
where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;
h = (Pe)/(mg)
Plug in your given units, and solve!
Post-check:
h = Pe/mg
h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)
h = appr. 49.5 meters
Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.
Answer:
Explanation:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time.
100 km/hr
r = 100 km / hr
t = 6 hours
d = 6 * 100 = 600 km
120 km / hr
r = 120 km / hr
t = 5 hour
d = 120 * 5
d = 600 km
Total distance = 600 + 600 = 1200 km
Total time = 5 hour + 6 hours = 11 hours.
Average speed = 1200 km / 11 hours = 109.1
The answer is (A) the object must be at rest.
When all of the forces acting on an object balance, the net force is zero and hence the object will not move.
Yes, the direction might also change under some special circumstances.
