Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 5.22 \ m}}

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is calculated using the following formula:

E_P=mgh

Where <em>m</em> is the mass, <em>g</em> is the acceleration due to gravity, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The object has a mass of 8.72 kilograms. Assuming this occurs on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared. The object gains 446 Joules of potential energy.

Let's convert the units of Joules. This makes the process of canceling units simpler later on. 1 Joule is equal to 1 kilogram meter squared per second squared. The object gains 446 J, which is equal to 446 kg *m²/s².

  • EP= 446 kg*m²/s²
  • m= 8.72 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

446 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 8.72 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2 *h

Multiply on the right side of the equation.

446 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 85.456 kg*m/s^2 *h

We are solving for the height, so we must isolate the variable h. It is being multiplied by 85.456 kg*m/s². The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by this value.

\frac{ 446 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{85.456 kg*m/s^2} = \frac{85.456 kg*m/s^2 *h}{85.456 kg*m/s^2}

\frac{ 446 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{85.456 kg*m/s^2} =h

The units of kg*m/s² cancel, leaving meters as our unit.

\frac{ 446 }{85.456 }  \ m =h

5.2190601011 \ m =h

The original measurements of mass and potential energy have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredths place. The 9 in the thousandths place to the right tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

5.22 \ m \approx h

The object was lifted to a height of approximately <u>5.22 meters.</u>

An ordinary ruler is used to measure the area and its error of a rectangle. It is found that their sides are 5.0 cm long and 2.0
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

You need to know the accuracy to which you can read the ruler:

Suppose that you can read the read the ruler to the nearest milimeter

A = L * W     your calculated area of the rectangle

A + ΔA = (L + ΔL) * (W + ΔW) = L W + L ΔW + W * ΔL + ΔL ΔA

Or ΔA =  L ΔW + W ΔL

Where we have subtracted A = L * W and the term ΔL * ΔA is very small

So (5 + .1) * (2 + .1) - 5 * 2 = .1 * 2 + .1 * 5 = .7 cm^2

Then you report A = 10 cm^2 +- .7 cm^2    including the - sign for completeness
