Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.

Physics
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

In an elastic collision, a 580 kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kozerog [31]

Answer:  vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.

If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:

m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)

The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.

If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:

vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)

The only condition that satisfies  (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:

vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1

If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:

vf1 = 2.75 m/s  vf2 = 1.5 m/s

what is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on the moon if the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6m/s^2
monitta
On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

The mass of the block in the drawing is 10 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the vertical wall is 0.5
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The minimum force to start the block moving up the wall = 49 N

Explanation:

Friction: This is the force that tend to oppose the motion of two bodies in contact. The S.I unit of frictional force is Newton (N)

The minimum force required to start the block moving up the wall = Frictional Force.

I.e F = Frictional force.

And, F = μR..........................Equation 1

Where μ = coefficient of static friction, R = Normal reaction.

But R = mg ( on a level surface).................. Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 10 kg,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

substituting these values into Equation 2

R = 10 × 9.8

R = 98 N.

Also given: μ = 0.50

Substituting these values into equation 1

F = 98 × 0.5

F = 49 N.

Therefore The minimum force to start the block moving up the wall = 49 N
