Answer:
The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.
Explanation:
gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.
In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).
Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.
In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.
Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg
Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s
We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2
= 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2
= 0.5 * 1000 * 400
= 200000 Joules
So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.
i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson
At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.
Hope this helps
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton's second law of motion)
Divide both sides of the equation by 'acceleration', and you have
Mass = (force) / (acceleration)
Mass = 17 newtons / 3.75 meters per second-sqrd = 4.533 kilograms (rounded)
