Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

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

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

KatRina [158]
Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

If you pull up on a bucket with a tension force of 15 N and the bucket has a weight of 15 N, what is the net force acting on the
fredd [130]

Answer:

F = 0 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must perform a summation of forces in the direction of the vertical axis. Where the positive force is that of the tension of the upward force, while the force exerted by the weight is directed downward with a negative sign.

ΣF = 0

15 - 15 + F = 0

F = 0 [N]

A hockey player uses a hockey stick to hit a puck such that the stick provides an applied force on the puck The puck travels for
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation presented in order to know which answer is correct.

When the stick collides with the puck, it exerts a force for a certain time and discants. / After this time the horizontal force decreases to zero and the disk continues to move by the action of the initial velocity on the x axis and the acceleration of gravity on the y axis.

Therefore, after the collision, the only force that acts on the disk is the gravitational attractive force (WEIGHT), directed on the axis and in a negative direction.

The correct answer is:

C)           Since there is no frictional force exerted on the puck, a normal force is not exerted on the puck, but the gravitational force is exerted on the puck
