What is the gravitational potential energy of a 150 kg object suspended 5m above the Earth's surface

Physics

ella [17]3 years ago
6 0
The gravitational potential energy referred to the ground level is given by
U=mgh
where m is the mass of the object, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the object with respect to the ground.

Therefore in our problem the potential energy is
U=(150 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=7357.5 J

Does specific heat change with mass?
ch4aika [34]
Heat<span> capacity ( C ) </span>does change with mass<span>. However, </span>specific heat<span> is the </span>heat<span>capacity per unit </span>mass<span> ( c=Cm ). Therefore if you double the amount of </span>mass<span> in your system, you've doubled its </span>heat<span> capacity, but you've kept the </span>specific heat<span> the same. ... </span>Specific<span> gravity is another such quantity.</span>

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.
