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.

Two boxes are connected to each other by a string as shown in the figure. The 10-n box slides without friction on the horizontal

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

T=7.4 N hence T<30 N

Explanation:

The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have

F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as

30 N - T = (30/9.81)a

Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting 10N for F we obtain the second equation as

T = (10/9.81)a

Adding the first and second equations we obtain

30 = 4.077471967

a Hence

$a=\frac {30}{4.077471967}=7.3575 m/s^{2}$

and T=a hence

T is approximately 7.4 N

A football field lies so one endzone is to the east and one is to the west. A running back gets the ball and starts running 20o

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

( 80.87 i - 12.96 j ) m

Explanation:

Running back movements :

20⁰ north of east for 10 meters,

Runs straight east for 60 meters

runs 35⁰ east of south for 20 meters

A) show vector pointing from the starting point to the end ( where he scored )

The final vector displacement : ( 80.87 i - 12.96 j ) m

which is : 81.90 m, 9.10⁰ south of east

The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.25 kg bullet is 1066 J. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Neglecting air re

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The range of the bullet is 0.435 kilometers.

Explanation:

According to the problem, maximum height is equal to the range of the bullet. That is:

$\Delta x = \Delta y$

Where:

$\Delta x$ - Range of the bullet, measured in meters.

$\Delta y$ - Maximum height of the bullet, measured in meters.

By the Principle of Energy Conservation, gravitational potential energy reaches its maximum at the expense of the initial kinetic energy. That is to say:

$K_{1} = U_{2}$
