Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW

What does the negative sign in F = –kx mean?
VashaNatasha [74]

It says that the force of a spring is always opposite to the direction in which you stretch it or compress it. (the direction of 'x')

In other words, a spring that's disturbed always tries to put itself back to it's normal length, where x would be zero.

Describe an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).​
Alina [70]
The motion of an airplane when the pilot changes the throttle setting of the engine is described by the first law. The motion of a ball falling down through the atmosphere, or a model rocket being launched up into the atmosphere are both examples of Newton's first law.

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following  formula.

GPE=mgh

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass m=0.005 \,kg, and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of h=555 \, ft, thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in  order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}

That give u s

h = 169.2 \, m

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

GPE=mgh

And we get

GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J

\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.
