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.

What is a difference between physical traits and personality traits?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

A physical trait is visible to the naked eye, such as, having six fingers; and a character trait is invisible to the naked eye, such as, being charming. Both can be subjective, for instance, claiming somebody has a big nose is a subjective comment about somebody's physical appearance.

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. While the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and main engines only work together during
Katarina [22]

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:

  • From t = 0 min to t = 2.0 min, the SRB and the main engines act together and the speed goes from 0 m/s (rest) to 1341 m/s.
  • From t = 2.0 min to t = 8.5 min, the main engines alone accelerate the ship form 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.

We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:

  • The speed increases from 0 m/s to 1341 m/s.
  • The time elpased is 2.0 min.
  • 1 min = 60 s.

The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:

a = \frac{\Delta v }{t} ) \frac{(1341m/s-0m/s)}{2.0min} \times \frac{1min}{60s}  = 11 m/s^{2}

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

Determine a valid way of finding the wire’s diameter if you know the resistivity of the material, \rho , and can measure the cur
olganol [36]

Answer:

To find the diameter of the wire, when the following are given:

Resistivity of the material (Rho), Current flowing in the conductor, I, Potential difference across the conductor ends, V, and length of the wire/conductor, L.

Using the ohm's law,

Resistance R = (rho*L)/A

R = V/I.

Crossectional area of the wire A = π*square of radius

Radius = sqrt(A/π)

Diameter = Radius/2 = [sqrt(A/π)]

Making A the subject of the formular

A = (rho* L* I)V.

From the result of A, Diameter can be determined using

Diameter = [sqrt(A/π)]/2. π is a constant with the value 22/7

Explanation:

Error and uncertainty can be measured varying the value of the parameters used and calculating different values of the diameters. Compare the values using standard deviation
