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

For a Physics course containing 10 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 10 studen
Talja [164]

Answer:

130.5

Explanation:

According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.

The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:

16 | 8 5 6

This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.

If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:

116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.

The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.

In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:

Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

What was the direction of the ball’s velocity
Tju [1.3M]

Part of the question is missing. Here it is:

<em>A 72 g autographed baseball slides off of a 1.3 m high table and strikes the floor a horizontal distance of 0.7m away from the table.     The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2. What was the direction of the ball’s velocity  just before it hit the floor? </em>

Answer:

\theta=-75.7^{\circ}

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two separate motions:

- A horizontal motion at constant velocity

- A vertical motion at constant acceleration (free fall)

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, to find the time of flight of the ball. This can be done by using the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, choosing downward as positive direction:

s =1.3 m is the vertical displacement of the ball

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.3)}{9.8}}=0.52 s

Now we can find the final vertical velocity of the ball, using:

v_y=u+at

And susbtituting t = 0.52 s, we find

v_y = 0 +(9.8)(0.52)=5.1 m/s

It is important to keep in mind that the direction of this velocity is downward, since we chose downward as positive direction.

The horizontal velocity of the ball instead is constant; we know that the ball covers a horizontal distance of

d = 0.7 m

In a time of

t = 0.52 s

So, the horizontal velocity is

v_x = \frac{0.7}{0.52}=1.3 m/s

So now we can find the direction of the ball's velocity using:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{5.1}{1.3})=75.7^{\circ}

And since the vertical direction is downward, this means that this velocity is below the horizontal, so the answer is

\theta=-75.7^{\circ}
