Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)
= zero - (43 m/s)
= -43 m/s .
Magnitude of acceleration = (-43 m/sec) / (0.28 sec)
= (-43 / 0.28) (m/sec) / sec
= 153.57... m/s²
= 1.5... x 10² m/s² .
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy of a body due to is virtue of rest.
Potential energy is given as mgh
g is a constant and it is 9.81m/s²
And also the mass of the body is given as 1.3kg
Now the height of the body is
He took a book to a storey building of height 26m
He still holds the book 151 cm (1.51m) above the house.
The house is on an altitude of 1609m from the sea level.
Total Ug with out the sea level is
Ug=mgh
Ug=1.3 × 9.81 ×(26+1.51)
Ug=350.84J
Then, the potential energy due to the sea level is given as
Ug=mgh
Where g = 1/6371 m/s²
Therefore
Ug=mgh
Ug=1.3 × 1/6371 ×1609
Ug=0.328J
Total energy = 0.328+350.84
Ug=351.17J
Potential energy which is the stored energy an object has waiting to be used
When the comet is closest to the Sun,
it has its maximum kinetic energy
and minimum gravitational potential energy. When the comet is far away from the Sun, it has maximum gravitational potential energy and minimal kinetic energy. It's faster when it's close because the Sun's gravity is pulling the comet closer. The opposite for when it gets farther away
