Answer:

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 20 × 9.8 × 2

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

EleoNora [17]

We subtract the velocity of car 1 from the velocity of car 2:
$v=(30\ mph\ North)-(20\ mph\ South)$
$=(30\ mph\ North)+(20\ mph\ North)$
$=50\ mph\ North$

A bike with 15cm diameter wheels accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.1m/s over a distance of 35.4m. Determine the an

Finger [1]

Answer:

9.47 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Diameter = 15 cm, radius, r = diameter / 2 = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m, u = 0, v = 7.1 m/s,

s = 35.4 m

let a be the linear acceleration.

Use III equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s

7.1 x 7.1 = 0 + 2 x a x 35.4

a = 0.71 m/s^2

Now the relation between linear acceleration and angular acceleration is

a = r x α

where, α is angular acceleration

α = 0.71 / 0.075 = 9.47 rad/s^2

Answer:

u = 10.63 m/s

h = 1.10 m

Explanation:

For Take-off speed ..

by using the standard range equation we have

$R = u² sin2θ/g$

R = 9.1 m

θ = 26º,

Initial velocity = u

solving for u

$u² = \frac{Rg}{sin2\theta}$

$u^2 = \frac{9.1 x 9.80}{sin26}$

$u^2 = 113.17$

u = 10.63 m/s

for Max height

using the standard h(max) equation ..

$v^2 = (v_osin\theta)^2 -2gh$

$h =\frac{(v_o^2sin\theta)^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(113.17)(sin26)^2}{(2 x 9.80)}}$

h = 1.10 m
