If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?

Physics
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]2 years ago
4 0

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

A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Speed of block at bottom is v=3.8\ m/s

Distance traveled s=6\ m

initial velocity is zero

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

(3.8)^2-0=2\times a\times 6

a=1.203\ m/s^2

when it is 3 m from top then

v^2-u^2=2as

v^2-0=2\times 1.203\times 3

v=2.68\ m/s

The length of the minute hand of the clock is 14cm. Calculate the speed with which the tip of the minute hand moves
Molodets [167]

Speed of the tip of the minute hand=V=0.0244 cm/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the minute hand is given by

\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}

T= time period of the minute hand=60 min=3600 s

so ω= 2 π/3600 rad/s

Now linear velocity v= r ω

r= radius of minute hand=14 cm

so v= 14 (2 π/3600)

V=0.0244 cm/s

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega
