Answer:

P = 5880 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the block, m = 30 kg

The block is sitting at a height of 20 m.

The block will have gravitational potential energy. The formula for gravitational potential energy is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\=30\times 9.8\times 20\\\\=5880\ J$

So, the required potential energy is equal to 5880 J.

What is the equation for potential energy?

Mrrafil [7]

You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h

Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Hope this helps!

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) $W_c=127.008 J$

(b) $W_g=148.176 J$

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) $v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg

initial velocity of the block, $u=0 m.s^{-1}$

constant downward acceleration, $a_d= \frac{g}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ That a constant upward acceleration of $\frac{6g}{7}$ is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴ $a=- \frac{6g}{7}$

height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

$F_c= M\times a$

$F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}$

$F_c=-30.24 N$

∴Work by the cord on the block,

$W_c= F_c\times d$

$W_c= -30.24\times 4.2$

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

$W_c=-127.008 J$

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

$F_g= M.g$

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

$F_g=3.6\times 9.8$

$F_g=35.28 N$

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

$W_g=F_g\times d$

$W_g=35.28\times 4.2$

$W_g=148.176 J$

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

$K.E.= W_g+W_c$

$K.E.=148.176-127.008$

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d$

putting the respective values:

$v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }$

$v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$ is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

Suppose two objects are gravitationally attracted to each other with some force F. If the mass of object 1 is multiplied by a fa

RoseWind [281]

If F = Gm₁m₂/d², and we change m₁ to 5m₁ and m₂ to 2m₂, then the new magnitude of the gravitational force is

F' = G (5m₁) (2m₂) / d²

F' = 10 Gm₁m₂ / d²

but this is really just F' = 10F. So J is the correct choice.

A pendulum on earth swings with angular frequency ω. On an unknown planet, it swings with angular frequency ω/ 4. The accelerati

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

g / 16

Explanation:

T = 2π $\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

angular frequency ω = 2π /T

= $\sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }$

ω₁ /ω₂ = $\sqrt{\frac{g_1}{g_2} }$

Putting the values

ω₁ = ω , ω₂ = ω / 4

ω₁ /ω₂ = 4

4 = $\sqrt{\frac{g}{g_2} }$

g₂ = g / 16

option d is correct.
