Answer:

<em>U = 66,150 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8\ m/s^2.

The child of mass m=45 Kg is perched above a h=150 m ravine. His gravitational potential energy is:

U=45~Kg\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2\cdot 150\ m

U = 66,150 J

A 0.140 kg baseball is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 28.9 m/s. It is struck with a constant horizontal force that lasts
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4987N

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass (m) = 0.140 kg

Initial velocity (U) = 28.9 m/s

Time (t) = 1.85 ms = 1.85x10^-3s

Final velocity (V) = 37.0 m/s

Force (F) =?

Step 2:

Determination of the magnitude of the horizontal force applied. This can be obtained by applying the formula:

F = m(V + U) /t

F = 0.140(37+ 28.9) /1.85x10^-3

F = 9.226/1.85x10^-3

F = 4987N

Therefore, the magnitude of the horizontal force applied is 4987N
