A 3kg box has 45J of gravitational potential energy, how high is it off the ground?

Physics
1 answer:
frez [133]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1.53m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of box  = 3kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 45J

Unknown

Height of the box  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

 Gravitational potential energy = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

            45  = 3 x 9.8 x h

            h  = 1.53m

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

A 25 kg block is held against a compressed spring and then the spring is allowed to decompress giving the block a velocity. The
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

h=18.05 cm

Explanation:

Given that

m= 25 kg

K= 1300 N/m

x=26.4 cm

θ= 19.5 ∘

When the block just leave the spring then the speed of block = v m/s

From energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Kx^2=mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}

By putting the values

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{1300\times 0.264^2}{25}}

v=1.9 m/s

When block reach at the maximum height(h) position then the final speed of the block will be zero.

We know that

V_f^2=V_i^2-2gh

By putting the values

0^2=1.9^2-2\times 10\times h

h=0.1805 m

h=18.05 cm
