Using the formula

GPE = m*g*h (mass (kg) * gravitational field strength (N/kg) * height (m) )

We can say that -

100 J = 0.5 * 9.8 *  x

x = 100/(0.5 * 9.8)

<u>x = 20.4 m</u>

Your answer is 20.4 m

In addition to gravity, what is the other predominant force that affects the motion of a pendulum?
konstantin123 [22]

When we're working problems that involve a pendulum, we almost always IGNORE anything else besides gravity.  

Anything else besides gravity that could influence the motion of a pendulum is something that we would eliminate if we could.

Those are air resistance, mass of the string, friction at the top suspension point, and the Coriolis force, due to the Earth's rotation, that tries to change the plane of the pendulum's swing.

This question is probably fishing for the answer "<em>friction</em>".

A 3.63.kgkg chihuahua charges at a speed of 3.3m/s3.3m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force needed to bring the chihuah
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

23.96 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of Chihuahua (m) = 3.63 kg

Velocity (v) = 3.3m/s

Time (t) = 0.50 s

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the Chihuahua. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 3.3m/s

Time (t) = 0.50 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = v/t

a = 3.3/0.5

a = 6.6 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the Chihuahua is 6.6 m/s².

Finally, we shall determine the force need to stop the Chihuahua as shown below:

Mass of Chihuahua (m) = 3.63 kg

Acceleration (a) = 6.6 m/s².

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 3.63 × 6.6

F = 23.96 N

Therefore, a force of 23.96 N is needed to stop the Chihuahua.

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1.2 m/s? 3.8 kg • m/s 4.2 kg • m/s 6.0 kg • m/s 6.2 kg • m/s
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Your answer will be 6.0kg•m/s

Explanation:

In the given question all the required details d given. Using these information's a person can easily find the momentum of the object. In the question it is already given that the mass of the object is 5 kg and the velocity at which it is traveling is 1.2 m/s.We know the equation of finding momentum asMomentum = mass * velocity                   = 5 * 1.2                    = 6So the momentum of the object is 6 Newton.
