A 20 kg box has 1000 joules of potential energy on a shelf. How high is the shelf?

Physics
1 answer:
navik [9.2K]3 years ago
5 0
Formula: PE = mgh
m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 h= ?
1000 = 20 * 9.8 * h
1000 = 196h
h = 5.10204082
The height is around 5m

Two particles with charges are initially very far apart (effectively an infinite distance apart). They are then fixed at positio
ddd [48]

Answer:

potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The potential energy between the two charged particles is given by

U = k Q q / r

If they are very far apart then r tends to infinity and the potential energy is zero.

If they come closer then the potential energy between the two charged particles increases.

Thus, the potential energy increases.

A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon
Tasya [4]

Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v
