An 800 N man climbs 5 m up a ladder. How much gravitational potential energy does he gain?

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the man  = 800N

Height of ladder  = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy gained  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is due to the position of a body.

 Gravitational potential energy = weight x height

Now insert the parameters;

 Gravitational potential energy  = 800 x 5  = 4000J

How high would a projectile go if it was launched from ground level with an initial speed of 26 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees ab
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Vy = 26 m/s sin 30 = 13 m/s      vertical speed

t = Vy / a = 13 m/s / 9.80 m/s^2 = 1.33 sec     time to reach Vy = 0

H = Vy t + 1/2 g t^2

H = 13 m/s * 1.33 sec - 1.33^2 * 9.8 / 2 m = 8.62 m

A car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00
Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 105 m

Explanation:

Speed of a car, v = 21 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the dar during those 5 s before it stops. Let the distance is d. It can be calculated as :

d = v × t

d = 21 m/s × 5 s

d = 105 m

So, it will cover 105 m before it stops.

The coefficient of static friction is 0.222

Explanation:

In order for the car to remain in circular motion, the frictional force must be able to provide the necessary centripetal force. Therefore, the car will start skidding when the two forces are equal:

\mu mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the term on the left is the frictional force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the track

In this problem, we have:

r = 564 m

v = 35 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2

And re-arranging the equation for \mu, we can find the coefficient of static friction:

\mu = \frac{v^2}{gr}=\frac{35^2}{(9.8)(564)}=0.222

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2
