Gravitational potential energy, relative to some level =

       (mass of the object)
times
       (height above the reference level)
times
       (acceleration due to gravity) .

In 1.71 minutes, a ski lift raises four skiers at constant speed to a height of 148 m. The average mass of each skier is 62.9 kg
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3560.36 Watts

Explanation:

Power, P=\frac {nΔW}{Δt) where P is power, n is the number of skiers, t is time in seconds and Δt is change in time, ΔW is given by mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational constant, h is height

Substituting n for 4 skiers, m for 62.9 Kg, g for 9.81, h for 148 m and t for 1.71*60=102.6 seconds

P=\frac {4*62.9*9.81*148}{1.71*60}=3560.360702  Watts

Average power is approximately 3560.36 Watts

What is the mass of a 735-N weight on Earth?
Allisa [31]
W = mg,      Assuming g ≈ 9.8 m/s² on the earth surface.

735 N =  m* 9.8

735/9.8 =  m

75 = m

Mass , m = 75 kg.  B.

Two waves collide and the temporary combined waves that results is smaller that the original wave.
zimovet [89]

The acceleration due to gravity is g at the earth's surface. an earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the earth's surfa
disa [49]

The acceleration due to gravity is g/4

The acceleration above the earth surface is given by the relation

g^'=gr^2/〖(h+r)〗^2

Since the satellite orbits the earth in a orbit of radius equal to earth radius, therefore

g^'=(gr^2)/〖(r+r)〗^2 =g/4

Thus the acceleration due to gravity on the satellite is g/4.

Two point charges of equal magnitude are 8.0 cm apart. At the midpoint of the line connecting them, their combined electric fiel
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

r = 8/2 = 4cm = 0.04m

k = 9×10^9

Enet = 51 N/C

Enet = E1 + E2

since E1 = E2

E1 = Enet/2 = 51/2

E/2 = kq/r²

q = Er²/2k

q = (51 × 0.04²)/(2×9×10^9)

q = 4.5×10^-12 C

q1 = q2 = 4.5 pC

Explanation:

The electric field is a region around a

charge in which it exerts electrostatic force

on another charges. While the strength of

electric field at any point in space is called

electric field intensity. It is a vector

quantity. Its unit is NC¯¹.

According to coulomb’s law ,if a unit

positive charge q (call it a test charge) is

brought near a charge q (call a field

charge) placed in space,the charge q will

experience a force. The value of this force

depends upon the distance between the

two charges. If the charge q is moved

away from q ,this force would decrease till

at a certain distance the force would be

practically reduced to zero. The charge q

is then out of the influence of charge q.

The region of space surrounding the charge

q in which it exerts a force on the charge

q is known as E.F of the charge

q. Mathematically it is expressed as:

E =F/q

The direction of the vector E is the same

as the direction of F,because q is a

positive scalar. Dimensionally,the E.F is

force per unit charge,and its SI unit is the

newton/coulomb (N/C).
