Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

vA child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0

Answer:

d = 2.26 km

Explanation:

Let the child is moving with speed same as the speed of water flow

So here the position of child with respect to flow must be zero

And if the boat start at an angle with the vertical

so its relative speed with flow of water is given as

v_x = 24.8 sin\theta

v_y = 24.8 cos\theta

now the time to reach the child is given as

\frac{0.6}{24.8 cos\theta} = \frac{2.5}{24.8 sin\theta }

so now we have

\theta = 76.5 degree

So the time to catch the child is given as

t = \frac{0.6}{24.8 cos78.2}

t = 0.104 h

So distance moved by it in 0.104 h

distance moved by the boat in upstream direction given as

x = (24.8 sin 74.8 - 3.1)(0.104)

x = 2.18 km

In y direction the displacement of boat is

y = 0.6 km

net displacement of the ball is given as

d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

d = \sqrt{2.18^2 + 0.6^2}

d = 2.26 km

It takes Mars about ____ Earth years to orbit the Sun.
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>At this distance, and with an orbital speed of 24.077 km/s, Mars takes 686.971 Earth days, the equivalent of 1.88 Earth years, to complete a orbit around the Sun. This eccentricity is one of the most pronounced in the Solar System, with only Mercury having a greater one (0.205). 

686.971 rounds to 687

A 15kg ball accelerates at a rate of 3m/s/s. What force was required?
hoa [83]

Answer:

<h2>45 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
