Does mass or height have a greater impact on gravitational potential energy ?

Physics
1 answer:
natulia [17]3 years ago
4 0

The formula for gravitational potential energy is ...

Grav PE = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

We can see from this simple formula that mass and height have <em>EQUAL </em>influence on the Gravitational PE.  If EITHER of them is multiplied by some factor, the Gravitational PE gets multiplied by the same factor.

So the answer to the question is: <em> No </em>.

A hiker climbs a mountain. Starting at the base of the mountain, he first moved up 520m at a 32.0 degree angle. What is the fina
balu736 [363]

Answer:

\displaystyle \vec{d}=

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Vector</u>

Suppose an object is located at a position  

\displaystyle P_1(x_1,y_1)

and then moves at another position at

\displaystyle P_2(x_2,y_2)

The displacement vector is directed from the first to the second position and can be found as

\displaystyle \vec{d}=

If the position is given as magnitude-angle data ( z , α), we can compute its rectangular components as

\displaystyle x=z\ cos\alpha

\displaystyle y=z\ sin\alpha

The question describes the situation where the initial point is the base of the mountain, where both components are zero

\displaystyle P_1(0,0)

The final point is given as a 520 m distance and a 32-degree angle, so  

\displaystyle x_2=520\ cos32^o= 440.99\ m

\displaystyle y_2=520\ sin32^o=275.6\ m

The displacement is

\displaystyle \vec{d}=
