Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

To balance a chemical equation we use______. <br> -coefficients <br> -subscripts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

  • Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
  • The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
  • <em><u>Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products. </u></em>

A shopper does 157 J of work pushing a cart with 10.9 N force
Tanzania [10]

The cart travelled a distance of 14.4 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force when pushing an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where:

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem we have:

W = 157 J is the work done on the cart

F = 10.9 N is the magnitude of the force

\theta=0^{\circ}, assuming the force is applied parallel to the motion of the cart

Therefore we can solve for d to find the distance travelled by the cart:

d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{157}{(10.9)(cos 0)}=14.4 m

A 10-N force is needed to move an object with a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s. What power must be delivered to the object by the
vagabundo [1.1K]

The power that must be delivered to the object by the force is 50 W

Power is defined as the rate of doing work. The power of an object in relation to the force and velocity is given by the following equation:

Power (P) = Force (F) × velocity (v)

P = F × v

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Force (F) = 10 N
  • Velocity (v) = 5 m/s
  • Power (P) =?

P = F × v

P = 10 × 5

<h3>P = 50 W </h3>

Thus, the power that must be delivered to the object by the force is 50 W
