Potential energy= mass x gravitational field x height
Answer:
a = 120 m/s²
Explanation:
We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:
∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)
Known data
Where:
∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction
F: Force in Newtons (N)
m: mass (kg)
a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)
F = 1200N
m = 10 kg
Problem development
We replace the known data in formula (1)
1200 = 10*a
a = 1200/10
a = 120 m/s²
Answer:
45.6m
Explanation:
The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

Solving for t=1:
1) 
To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:
The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:
2) 
If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:
3) 
Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:
4) 
Combining equation 1 and 4:
