A 2 kilogram mass is lifted 4 meters above the ground what is the change it gravitational energy

Physics
1 answer:
lianna [129]3 years ago

Answer:

78.4 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its location in the gravitational field.

The change in gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

\Delta U=mg\Delta h

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

\Delta h is the change in height of the object

For the mass in  this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg is the mass

\Delta h = 4 m is the change in height

So, its change in gravitational energy is:

\Delta U=(2)(9.8)(4)=78.4 J

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

Derive an expression to show tha v=✓2Gr​
Elza [17]

Answer:

From this equation, it can be said that the escape velocity depends on the radius of the planet and the mass of the planet only and not on the mass of the body. Escape Velocity of Earth= 11.2 km/s. This was the derivation of the escape velocity of earth or any other planet.

Which of the following statements best explains why liquid water is NOT found on Jupiter?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The planet lacks a solid surface and the temperature is too low

Explanation:

Jupiter does not have solid surface as it is made up of swirling gases, mainly hydrogen(90%) and helium(~10%). The swirl comes from massive wind with speed of 335 miles/hour. The temperature in cloud of Jupiter is 145°C which is too low for water to remain in liquid state as the temperature range for liquid water is 0°C to 100°C.

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.
