What is called gravitational potential energy?

Physics

Answer:

Potential gravitational energy is the energy that the body has due to the Earth's gravitational attraction. In this way, the potential gravitational energy depends on the position of the body in relation to a reference level.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

15.67 m/s

Explanation:

The ball has a projectile motion, with a horizontal uniform motion with constant speed and a vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 downward.

Let's consider the vertical motion only first: the vertical distance covered by the ball, which is S=50 m, is given by

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where t is the time of the fall. Substituting S=50 m and re-arranging the equation, we can find t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(50 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=3.19 s

Now we now that the ball must cover a distance of 50 meters horizontally during this time, in order to fall inside the carriage; therefore, the velocity of the carriage should be:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{50 m}{3.19 s}=15.67 m/s
