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

Physics
2 answers:
irakobra [83]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Three equal 1.55-μC point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle whose sides are 0.500 m long. What is the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

0.12959085 J

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

q = Charge = 1.55 μC

d = Distance between charge = 0.5 m

Electric potential energy is given by

U=k\dfrac{q^2}{d}

In this system with three charges which are equidistant from each other

U=k\dfrac{q^2}{d}+k\dfrac{q^2}{d}+k\dfrac{q^2}{d}

\\\Rightarrow U=k\dfrac{3q^2}{d}\\\Rightarrow U=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3\times (1.55\times 10^{-6})^2}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow U=0.12959085\ J

The potential energy of the system is 0.12959085 J

What life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms
worty [1.4K]
The most probable answer for this question would be that almost every life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms. To simply put it, cells of multicellular organisms are specialized in a way that they are all grouped into their respective tissues and these tissues are all grouped into their respective organs and these organs are all grouped together into their respective systems and these systems make up the multicellular organisms. These systems have their own functions in maintaining and sustaining the life that the organisms has. The organs have their own functions as well, thus specialized cells are mostly needed in respiration, digestion, circulation, movement, excretion, reproduction, immunity, coordination, and synthesis.
