Answer:

J/kg

Explanation:

The unit of gravitational potential is J/kg.

Gravitational potential is the amount of energy needed to bring a unit mass of charge from an external point to that field.

The difference between the point and that of zero potential is the gravitational potential.
It is gravitational potential energy per unit mass.
The symbol is V.

A worker lifts a 20.0-kg bucket of concrete from the ground up to the top of a 25.0-m tall building. The bucket is initially at

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Minimum work = 5060 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bucket (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial speed of the bucket (u) = 0 m/s

Final speed of the bucket (v) = 4.0 m/s

Displacement of the bucket (h) = 25.0 m

Let 'W' be the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket.

So, we know from work-energy theorem that, work done by a force is equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system.

Change in mechanical energy is equal to the sum of change in potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore,

$\Delta E=\Delta U+\Delta K\\\\\Delta E= mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Therefore, the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket is given as:

$W=\Delta E\\\\W=mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Now, plug in the values given and solve for 'W'. This gives,

$W=(20\ kg)(9.8\ m/s^2)(25\ m)+\frac{1}{2}(20\ kg)(4^2-0^2)\ m^2/s^2\\\\W=4900\ J +160\ J\\\\W=5060\ J$

Therefore, the minimum work that the worker did in lifting the bucket is 5060 J.

Plz answer the question

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Ray A = Incidence ray

Ray B = Reflected ray

Explanation:

From the law of reflection,

Normal: This is the line that makes an angle of 90° with the reflecting surface.

Ray A is the incidence ray: This is the ray that srikes the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the normal and the incidence ray is called the incidence angle

Ray B is the reflected ray: This is the ray leaves the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the reflected ray and the normal is called reflected angle
