Answer:

U = 66,150 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy

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

Cart A and cart B are traveling in the same direction on a straight track. Cart A is moving at 9.25 m/s and cart B is moving at

Liula [17]

Answer:

The speed of cart B is 11.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cart A = 9.25 m/s

Speed of cart B = 7.15 m/s

Mass of cart A = 72.0 kg

Mass of cart B = 55.0 kg

Speed of card A after collision = 6.15 m/s

We need to calculate the speed of cart B

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{A}v_{A}+m_{B}v_{B}=m_{A}v_{A}+m_{B}v_{B}$

Put the value into the formula

$72.0\times9.25+55.0\times7.15=72.0\times6.15+55.0\times v_{B}$

$v_{B}=\dfrac{72.0\times9.25+55.0\times7.15-72.0\times6.15}{55.0}$

$v_{B}=11.21\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of cart B is 11.21 m/s.

How are mass, distance and gpe related

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.

The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.

Can someone help me for this question?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A, 0.050 Hz

Explanation:

1) Frequency = speed divided by wavelength

time is 2* 60 = 120 seconds

distance = 6 wave lengths

speed = distance divided by time

speed = 6 wave lengths divided by 120
