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

Physics
1 answer:
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

Determine the values of m and n when the following average distance from the Sun to the Earth is written in scientific notation:
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

150000000000\ m=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Explanation:

A number can be written in the form of :

N=m\times 10^n

Where

m is the real number

n is any integer

In this case, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is given,

d = 150000000000 meters

There are 10 zeroes in this number. We need to write this number in scientific notation. It is given by :

d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

So, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A stone is dropped from a bridge abd it hits the water 2.2 seconds later how high is the bridge above the water
Bess [88]

Answer:

h = 23.716 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken by the stone to hit the water is, t = 2.2 s

Height of the bridge above the ground, h = ?

The distance that the body will fall through the time is given by the formula

                                S = 1/2 gt²  m

Where,        

                              g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

                               S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (2.2 s)²

                                  = 23.716  m

Therefore, the height of the bridge from the surface of the water is h = 23.716  m

A roller coaster car moving at a velocity of 30 meters/second has a momentum of 2.5 × 104 kilogram meters/second. what is its ma
frez [133]

The mass of a rollercoaster car moving at a velocity of 30 meters/second and has a momentum of 2.5 × 104 kilogram meters/second is 8.3 × 10²kg.

<h3>How to calculate mass?</h3>

The mass of the roller coaster car can be calculated using the following formula:

P = m × v

Where;

  • P = momentum
  • m = mass
  • v = velocity

m = 2.5 × 10⁴ ÷ 30

m = 8.3 × 10²kg

Therefore, the mass of a rollercoaster car moving at a velocity of 30 meters/second and has a momentum of 2.5 × 104 kilogram meters/second is 8.3 × 10²kg.

Which of the following types of light microscopy improves the resolution of thick specimens by illuminating one plane of the spe
Vilka [71]

Answer:

confocal microscopy

Explanation:

According to my research on different types of microscopes, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the tool being mentioned in this situation is a confocal microscopy. This is an extremely powerful microscope used to develop extremely sharp images of cells and tissues by viewing one plane of the specimen at a given time.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
