Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

Un tractor halando un carretón cargado con caña de azucar, viaja por el camino recto de una finca a una velocidad de 20 km/h. Si
Sidana [21]

Translation

A tractor pulling a cart loaded with sugar cane travels down the straight path of a farm at a speed of 20 km / h. If at 3:00 p.m.you pass the Finca Las Margaritas, what time will you arrive at the Las Ilusiones farm, located on the same road, if the distance between the two farms is 60 km

Answer:

6.00 pm

Explanation:

Speed is given by dividing distance by time and expressed as s=d/t. Making time the subject of the formula then t=d/s where s is the speed, d is distance covered and t is the time taken. Substituting 20 km/h for s and 60 km for d then t=60/20=3 hours

Adding 3 hours to 3 pm we get 6pm

Therefore, the time to reach the destination if the speed is constantly maintained is 6.00 pm

A student lifts a 50 pound (lb) ball 4 feet (ft) in 5 seconds (s). How many joules of work has the student completed?
Elis [28]

           Work = (weight) x (distance)

  Work = (50 lb) x (1 kg / 2.20462 lb) x (9.81 newton/kg)

                           x (4 feet) x (1 meter / 3.28084 feet)

           = (50 x 9.81 x 4) / (2.20462 x 3.28084)  newton-meter

           =        271.3 joules .

We don't need to know how long the lift took, unless we
want to know how much power he was able to deliver.

                   Power = (work) / (time)    

                               = (271.3 joule) / (5 sec)  =  54.3 watts .
________________________________________

The easy way:

         Work = (weight) x (distance)

                
  = (50 pounds) x (4 feet)  =  200 foot-pounds

Look up (online) how many joules there are in 1 foot-pound.

There are  1.356 joules in 1 foot-pound.

So  200 foot-pounds = (200 x 1.356) = 271.2 joules.

That's the easy way.

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\frac{50}{\pi }Hz

Explanation:

In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;

V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф)            -----------------(i)

Where;

V = amplitude value of the voltage

ω = angular frequency = 2 π f        [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]

Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.

<u><em>Now,</em></u>

From the question,

V(t) = 230 sin (100t)              ---------------(ii)

<em><u>By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;</u></em>

V = 230

ω = 100

Ф = 0

<em><u>But;</u></em>

ω = 2 π f = 100

2 π f = 100             [divide both sides by 2]

π f = 50

f = \frac{50}{\pi }Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is \frac{50}{\pi }Hz
