That is called pseudoscience
For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.
The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.
If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.
The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.
And any change of velocity is called acceleration.
Answer:
<em>The PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>
It's the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.
We are given the mass of m=16 slug raised by a height h=10 ft. Both units will be converted to SI standard:
1 slug = 14.59 Kg, thus
16 slug = 16*14.59 Kg=233.44 Kg
1 ft = 0.3048 m, thus:
10 ft = 10*0.3048 m = 3.048 m
Thus, the PE of the mass increased by:
U = 233.44 * 9.8 * 3.048 = 6,972.95 J
the PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J
<h3>Answer</h3>
a. 8J
b. 90J
<h3>Notes formula</h3>
W = F × s
W = Work done (J)
F = Force (N)
s = distance (m)
<h3>Known that </h3>
a. F = 4N
s = 2m
b. F = 30N
s = 3m
<h3>Question</h3>
a. W = ..?
b. W = ..?
<h3>Way to do it</h3>
a. W = F × s
= 4N × 2m = 8J
b. W = F × s
= 30N × 3m = 90J
