Answer:
Explanation:
Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m
mass of the lamp = 3.8kg
acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²
As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.
Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height
Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81
Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules
b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²
m = mass of the body (in kg)
v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)
To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion
Since mass = 3.8kg
c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s
Answer:
See the explanation below.
Explanation:
This analysis can be easily deduced by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces or the total force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
F = total force [N]
m = mass [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
We must clear the acceleration value.
We see that the term of the mass is in the denominator, so that if the value of the mass is increased the acceleration decreases, since they are inversely proportional.
