An object has a mass of 20 kg and is placed 2 m above the ground. What is its gravitational potential energy? (PEg)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

<h2>392 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 20 × 9.8 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>392 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Mass of a body is 210g and its density is 7.981g/cm^3 what will be its volume with regard to significant figures
aleksandrvk [35]

Density is mass per unit volume,

\rho=\dfrac mV

so to get the volume, divide the mass by the density,

V=\dfrac m\rho

So the volume is

\dfrac{210\,\mathrm g}{7.981\frac{\rm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}}\approx26.312\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx\boxed{26\,\mathrm{cm}^3}

This is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Yuri [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Motor

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In motors, electric energy is converted into mechanic energy when a magnetic torque acts on a conductor that carries a current. There are different types of motors like DC and AC motors. The moving part of a motor is called the rotor while the stationary part is called stator
