Calculate the potential energy of a 20-kg sled at 40 meters

Physics
2 answers:
irakobra [83]3 years ago

Answer: 7840N

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy = ?

Mass of sled = 20-kg

Distance = 40 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest

i.e potential energy = mass m x acceleration due to gravity g x distance h

P.E = mgh

P.E = 20kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 40m

P.E = 7840N

Thus, the potential energy of the sled is 7840N

The above answer is correct however gravitational potential energy is measured in joules. So the final answer would be 7840 J (joules) not newton’s.

Elliot jumps up and down on a pogo stick. He weighs 600.N, and his pogo stick has a spring with spring constant 1100N/m. What is
tia_tia [17]

From conservation of energy, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

The given weight of Elliot is 600 N

From conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of Elliot must have been converted to elastic potential energy. Then, the elastic potential energy from the spring was later converted to maximum potential energy P.E of Elliot.

P.E = mgh

where mg = Weight = 600

To find the height Elliot will reach, substitute all necessary parameters into the equation above.

250 = 600h

Make h the subject of the formula

h = 250/600

h = 0.4167 meters

Therefore, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

Yea, gonna need some help. Thanks
natulia [17]

Answer:

t = 3.48 s

Explanation:

The time for the maximum height can be calculated by taking the derivative of height function with respect to time and making it equal to zero:

h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o\\\\\frac{dh(t)}{dt}=0=-32t+v_o\\\\v_o = 32t

where,

v₀ = initial speed = 110 ft/s

Therefore,

110 = 32t\\\\t = \frac{110}{32}\\\\

<u>t = 3.48 s</u>

A wheel has a rotational inertia of 16 kgm2. Over an interval of 2.0 s its angular velocity increases from 7.0 rad/s to 9.0 rad/
german

Answer:

<h2>128.61 Watts</h2>

Explanation:

Average power done by the torque is expressed as the ratio of the workdone by the toque to time.

Power = Workdone by torque/time

Workdone by the torque = \tau \theta = I\alpha * \theta

I is the rotational inertia = 16kgm²

\theta = angular\ displacement

\theta = 2 rev = 12.56 rad

\alpha \ is \ the\ angular\ acceleration

To get the angular acceleration, we will use the formula;

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f^2- \omega_i^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \frac{9.0^2- 7.0^2}{2(12.54)}\\\alpha = 1.28\ rad/s^{2}

Workdone by the torque = 16 * 1.28 * 12.56

Workdone by the torque = 257.23 Joules

Average power done by the torque = Workdone by torque/time

=  257.23/2.0

= 128.61 Watts
