Given the potential energy of 100 J, the height of the hill is 0.128 m (12.8 cm)

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object, relative to the ground

In this problem, we have

U = 100 J is the potential energy of the person

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

m = 80 kg is the mass of the person

Solving for h, we find at what height the person is:

$h=\frac{U}{mg}=\frac{100}{(80)(9.8)}=0.128 m = 12.8 cm$

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di

Shalnov [3]

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour

= Total distance traveled/ total time taken

= $\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} } = \frac{106x}{x+53}$

$26.5 = \frac{106x}{x+53} \\ \\ 79.5 x = 1404.5\\ \\ x = 17.67 miles/hour$

State a Newtowns second law

astraxan [27]

Answer:

the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a: F = m * a. For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object.

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of

Andre45 [30]

Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct.
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at
standard temperature, then the mass of 25.0 mL could
very well be 25.4 grams. We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

+0.4 / 25.0 = +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way ===> .

+ 0.016 = +1.6 % .

Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'. Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value. OK ?

olganol [36]

This is the equation for elastic potential energy, where U is potential energy, x is the displacement of the end of the spring, and k is the spring constant.
 U = (1/2)kx^2
 U = (1/2)(5.3)(3.62-2.60)^2
 U = 2.75706 J
