Answer:

8.829 Joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object, is the energy it posses (the energy stored within the object) by virtue of its relative elevation or height, position, state, or arrangement

The potential energy of an object raised to a given height, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity, a constant ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The present height of the object

For the potato sack having a mass, m = 2 kg, and raised to a height, h = 450 cm = 0.45 m, we have;

The potential energy given to the potato sack, by raising its height, P.E. is given as follows;

P.E. = 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.45 m = 8.829 Joules

The potential energy given to the potato sack, P.E. = 8.829 Joules

Am i correct? If not then which one

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Explanation:

Newton's second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on it, according to the equation:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

We can re-arrange the previous equation in order to solve explicitely for a, the acceleration, and we find:

$F=ma\\\frac{F}{m}=\frac{ma}{m}\\\frac{F}{m}=a\\a=\frac{F}{m}$

So, we see that the acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60

german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

$m_1$ = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

$v_1$ = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

$m_2$ = Mass of person = 60 kg

$v_2$ = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s$

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s
