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.

what is the magnitude of g at a height above earth surface where free fall acceleration equal 6.5m/s2

ZanzabumX [31]

The magnitude of gravity is expressed in terms of its acceleration. So the magnitude of ' g ' at that altitude is exactly 6.5 m/s^2.

A 0.095 kg tennis ball is traveling to the right at 40 m/s when it bounces of a wall and travels in the opposite direction it ca

Mashutka [201]

given that

mass of ball = 0.095 kg

initial velocity of ball towards the wall = 40 m/s

final velocity of the ball after it rebound = 30 m/s

now change in momentum is given as

$\Delta P = m(v_f - v_i)$

$\Delta P = 0.095(30 - (-40))$

$\Delta P = 6.65 kg m/s$

So change in momentum will be 6.65 kg m/s

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2.
Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. 
1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. 
Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. 

Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. 
e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. 
Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N
