Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before.
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.
This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:
Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).
D = 1/2 A T²
For your student who dropped an object out of the window,
Distance = 19.6 m
Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²
D = 1/2 G T²
19.6 = 4.9 T²
Divide each side by 4.9 : 4 = T²
Square root each side: 2 = T
When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes 2 seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.
Answer:
the potential energy is 114 J.
Explanation:
Given;
total mechanical energy, E = 400 J
kinetic energy, K.E = 286 J
The potential energy is calculated as follows;
E = K.E + P.E
where;
P.E is the potential energy
P.E = E - K.E
P.E = 400 J - 286 J
P.E = 114 J
Therefore, the potential energy is 114 J.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.
U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.
Plug in known variables....
U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m
U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. When calculating the power bill, power companies use kilowatt-hours. This unit is a derived unit of energy equal to 3.6 MJ. If energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt-hours is the product of the power in kilowatts and the time.
