Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height

Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...

GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)

GPE = 24.5 J

Consider a roller coaster begins 15m above the ground. If the cart has a mass of 75kg, what is the velocity of the cart halfway

SashulF [63]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg

The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.

We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 7.5} \\\\v=12.12\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.

A laptop can convert 400J of electrical energy into a 240J of light and sound. What is the efficiency? Where does the rest of th

Blababa [14]

Efficiency = (Wanted) energy out ÷ energy in × 100

Energy in = 400J
Wanted Energy out = 240J

Energy cannot be used up, only transferred, so the remaining energy is most likely to be transferred into unwanted energy (loss of energy) such as heat energy.

Efficiency = 240 ÷ 400 × 100
Efficiency = 0.6 × 100
Efficiency = 60%
