What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?

1 answer:

8 0

For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ

M=3000km v=25m/s what’s the momentum

valina [46]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Momentum of the given body will be : 75000 Kg m/s

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to Newton's first law of motion, all bodies continue to be in the state of rest or motion unless an external force is applied on the body. We can use this in the case of momentum also

The formula of momentum is given by :

$:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv$

Here, we are given the mass of the body ( m ) as 3000kg and the velocity of the body ( v ) as 25 m/s. On putting the values in the formula:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv \\& :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = 3000 \times 25 \\ & :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \boxed{ \sf \: P = 75000kgm {s}^{ - 1} } \end{aligned}$

Momentum is associated with the mass of the moving body and can be defined as the quantity of motion measured as a product of mass and velocity.
