The potential energy of a 35 kg cannon ball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?

Physics

Anettt [7]3 years ago

From the information given, cannon ball weighs 40 kg and has a potential energy of 14000 J.

We need to find its height.

We will use the formula P.E = mgh

Therefore h = P.E / mg

where P.E is the potential energy,

m is mass in kg,  

g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h is the height of the object's displacement in meters.

h = P.E. / mg

h = 14000 / 40 × 9.8

h = 14000 / 392

h = 35.7

Therefore the canon ball was 35.7 meters  high.

How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The answer is 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy E = mc^2, so the definition of energy in this case is

E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2.

From the last equation,

v= \sqrt{2E/m}

where

E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J

and the mass of the neutron is

m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg.

Then

v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

the equivalent of 0.065 the speed of light.

I need the answer to this question what has the student plotted on the vertical axis?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

In trying to achieve what the student wanted to see, which is to see the relationship between the weight the cord can hold and how long the cord will stretch. Since the origin of the graph is from zero, the value plotted on the vertical axis would be just the length caused by each weights. Thus, <u>the original length would have to be subtracted from the measured length to determine the actual length caused by the weight added to the cord</u>.
