What is the potential energy of an object 20 m in the air with a mass of 600 kg?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

Mass (m) = 600 kg
Height (h) = 20 m
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is 117600 Joules.

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Part a) $\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) $\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

Explanation:

Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s

we have that

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{33*3+1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Remember that

$1\ min=60\ sec$

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

$\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{100}{3}(\frac{1}{60})=\frac{100}{180}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Simplify

$\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) what is it period, in seconds

we know that

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore

the frequency is

$\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

Natalka [10]

Answer:

-10.8m/s^2

Explanation:

a=change in velocity/change in time

-27 m/s/2.5=10.8m/s^2

or if its not negative

27m/s/2.5=10.8m/s^2
