Potential energy is defined by formula
here
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Now here two different stones are located at same height
while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B
so here we can say potential energy of A is
Similarly potential energy of B is
now if we take the ratio of two energy
so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B
Answer:
Frictional force, F = 45.9 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Weight of the box, W = 150 N
Acceleration,
The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.
It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,
Frictional force is given by :
F = 45.9 N
So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
