A 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall possess gravitational potential energy. It is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. We calculate as follows:

GPE = mgh = 2(9.8)(40) = 784 J

The bowling ball is at rest, so it only has gravitational potential energy.

Ug = mgy
Ug = (2)(9.8)(40) = 784 J

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2

Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

$Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

So,

$Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}$

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

$Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

If the mass of a material is 50 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

AlekseyPX

The density of the material would be
25/6 grams per cm^3.
to obtain the result above this is what we do:
density is calculated as: (the mass of the given material or object) / volume of the material
which leads us to 50grams /12cm^3
