Find the energy in joules required to lift a 55.0 megagram object a distance of 500cm

Physics

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms

100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

========================================

Work = increase in potential energy =

               (weight) x (height) =

             (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

             (55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =

                     2,695,000 joules .

Prove that acceleration due to gravity is independent to the mass of falling object.<br>​
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the body.

Explanation:

Let us consider the mass of the object as m and mass of earth as M

Therefore, force between the object and earth would be given by: F = GMm/d²

This force is equal to the weight of the object, i.e. mg

Thus;

mg = GMm/d²

g = GM/d²

Therefore, the value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the body.

Two particles, an electron and a proton, are initially at rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 478 N/C. If the particle
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

the speed of electron is 4.42 x 10⁶ m/s

the speed of proton is 2406.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

electric field strength, E = 478 N/C

charge of the particles, Q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

mass of proton, Mp = 1.673 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron Me = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

time of motion, t = 54.2 ns = 54.2 x 10⁻⁹ s

The magnitude of charge experienced by the particles is calculated as;

F = EQ

F = 478 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

F = 7.648 x 10⁻¹⁷ N

The speed of the particles is calculated as;

F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\v = \frac{Ft}{m} \\\\v_e = \frac{(7.684 \times 10^{-17})(52.4\times 10^{-9})}{9.11\times 10^{-31}} \\\\v_e = 4.42 \ \times \ 10^6 \ m/s

v_p = \frac{Ft}{m_p} \\\\v_p = \frac{(7.684 \times 10^{-17})(52.4\times 10^{-9})}{1.673\times 10^{-27}} \\\\v_p = 2406.7 \ m/s

100m with a constant speed 200km/hr the pilot drops abomb from the plane. determine (neplect air resistance of friction) X Q​
antiseptic1488 [7]

The horizontal distance XQ traveled by the bomb is 250 m.

<h3>Distance X Q</h3>

Let the XQ be the horizontal distance traveled by the bomb.

<h3>Time for the bomb to drop from 100 m</h3>

h = vt + ¹/₂gt

Let the vertical velocity = 0

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t² = 2h/g

t = √(2h/g)

t = √(2 x 100 / 9.8)

t = 4.5 s

<h3>Horizontal distance traveled by the bomb</h3>

XQ = vx(t)

where;

vx is horizontal speed, = 200 km/hr = 55.56 m/s

XQ = 55.56 x 4.5

XQ = 250 m

Thus, the horizontal distance XQ traveled by the bomb is 250 m.
