Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1376 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 8 × 10 × 17.2

We have the final answer as

<h3>1376 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

The kinematic equations of motion that apply here are<span>y(t)=votsin(θ)−12gt2</span>and<span>x(t)=votcos(θ)</span>Setting y(t)=0 yields <span>0=votsin(θ)−12gt2</span>. If we solve for t, we obtain, by factoring,<span>t=<span>2vsin(θ)g</span></span>Substitute this into our equation for x(t). This yields<span>x(t)=<span><span>2v2cos(θ)sin(θ)</span>g</span></span><span>This is equal to x=<span><span>v^2sin(2θ)</span>g</span></span>Hence the angles that have identical projectiles are have the same range via substitution in the last equation is C. <span> 60.23°, 29.77° </span>

How much work is done against gravity when lowering a 16 kg box 0.50 m? (g = 9.8 m/s2)
leonid [27]

Answer:

The work done against gravity is 78.4 J

Explanation:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance that the

object moves

W = F × d, where W is the work , F is the force and d is the distance

The SI unit of work is the joule (J)

We need to find the work done against gravity when lowering a

16 kg box 0.50 m

→ F = mg

→ m = 16 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value in the rule

→ F = 16 × 9.8 = 156.8 N

→ W = F × d

→ F = 156.8 N and d = 0.50

Substitute these values in the rule

→ W = 78.4 J

<em>The work done against gravity is 78.4 J</em>
