Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m$

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) $U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J$ , b) $v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The potential energy is:

$U_{e} = Q \cdot \Delta V$

$U_{e} = (30\,C)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{9}\,V)$

$U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J$

b) Maximum final speed:

$U_{e} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot U_{e}}{m} }$

The final speed is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (3 \times 10^{10}\,J)}{1000\,kg} }$

$v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}$

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity?

Snowcat [4.5K]

By definition,
Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Let v = the velocity of the truck, m/s
The mass of the truck is 36,287 kg.
The momentum is 907,175 (kg-m)/s.

Therefore
907,175 (kg-m)/s = (36287 kg)*(v m/s)
v = 907175/36287 = 25 m/s

Answer: 25 m/s

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

31.32 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let us assume the height of the Disque hall is 50 m

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 50}\\\Rightarrow u=31.32\ m/s$

In order to make the jump Superman's initial velocity must be greater than or equal to 31.32 m/s

A gry is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line, where line is another old English measure for length, def

Valentin [98]

Answer:

0.2448 point²

Explanation:

1 gry = 1/10 line

1 line = 1/12 inch

=> 1 gry in inches = 1/10 * 1/12 = 1/120 inch

=> 1 inch = 120 gry

1 point = 1/72 inch

=> 1 inch = 72 points

Therefore,

120 gry = 72 points

=> 1 gry = 3/5 point

Therefore,

1 gry² = (3/5)² point²

1 gry² = 9/25 point²

This means that 0.68 gry² will be:

0.68 gry² = 0.68 * 9/25 point²

=> 0.68 gry² = 0.2448 point²
