Given parameters:
Mass of the car = 1000kg
Unknown:
Height = ?
To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.
Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.
It is mathematically expressed as:
P.E = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height of the car
Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.
h = 
<u>For 2.0 x 10³ J;</u>
h =
= 0.204m
<u>For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;</u>
h =
= 20.4m
<u>For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J; </u>
h =
= 0.102m
The transfer of energy means, in convention process, transport of matter. In this case, hot water has lower density than cool water. The water with less density ascends and leaves gaps that are occupied with cooler water "packages".
Answer:
a) = 258352.5J
b) = 23.63 m/s
c) = 1.8m
Explanation:
Data;
Mass = 925kg
Distance (s) = 28.5m
Force constant (k) = 8.0*10⁴ N/m
g = 9.8 m/s²
a) = work = force * distance
But force = mass * acceleration
Force = 925 * 9.8 = 9065N
Work = F * s = 9065 * 28.5 = 258352.5J
b) acceleration (a) = (v² - u²) / 2s
a = v² / 2s
v² = a * 2s
v² = 9.8 * (2 * 28.5)
v² = 9.8 * 57
v² = 558.6
v = √(558.6)
V = 23.63 m/s
C). The work stops when the work done to raise the spring equals the work done to stop it by the spring
W = ½kx²
258352.5 = ½ * 8.0*10⁴ * x²
(2 * 258352.5) = 8.0*10⁴x²
516705 = 8.0*10⁴x²
X² = 516705 / 8.0*10⁴
X² = 6.46
X = √(6.46)
X = 2.54m
The compression was about 2.54m
