A 16.6 kilogram shotput is held 1.3 meters above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy of the shotput relative

to the ground?

Gravitational Potential energy is given as

$U = mgh$

here we know that

m = 16.6 kg

h = 1.3 m

now we will have

$U = (16.6)(9.8)(1.3)$

now we have

$U = 211.5 J$

so the potential energy will be 211.5 J with respect to ground

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.

One of your delivery trucks traveled 1,200 miles on 55 gallons of gas. How many miles per gallon did the truck get? (Round off y

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The word "Per" means divide

"miles per gallon" is the same as "miles / gallon"

The truck went 1,200 miles
on 55 gallons

1,200 ÷ 55 = 21.81

A baseball is batted from a height of 1.09 m with a speed of

kobusy [5.1K]

(a) The horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s initial velocity is 37.8 m/s and 12.14 m/s respectively.

(b) The maximum height above the ground reached by the ball is 8.6 m.

(c) The distance off course the ball would be carried is 0.38 m.

(d) The ball's velocity after 2.0 seconds if there is no crosswind is 38.53 m/s.

<h3>Horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity</h3>

Vx = Vcosθ

Vx = 39.7 x cos(17.8)

Vx = 37.8 m/s

Vy = Vsin(θ)

Vy = 39.7 x sin(17.8)

Vy = 12.14 m/s

<h3>Maximum height reached by the ball</h3>

$H = \frac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{(39.7)^2 \times (sin17.8)^2}{2(9.8)} \\\\H = 7.51 \ m$

Maximum height above ground = 7.51 + 1.09 = 8.6 m

<h3>Distance off course after 2 second </h3>

Upward speed of the ball after 2 seconds, V = V₀y - gt

Vy = 12.14 - (2x 9.8)

Vy = - 7.46 m/s

Horizontal velocity will be constant = 37.8 m/s

Resultant speed of the ball after 2 seconds = √(Vy² + Vx²)

$V = \sqrt{(-7.46)^2 + (37.8)^2} \\\\V = 38.53 \ m/s$

<h3>Resultant speed of the ball and crosswind</h3>

$V = \sqrt{38.52^2 + 4^2} \\\\V = 38.72 \ m/s$

<h3>Distance off course the ball would be carried</h3>

d = Δvt = (38.72 - 38.53) x 2

d = 0.38 m

The ball's velocity after 2.0 seconds if there is no crosswind is 38.53 m/s.

(1) A positive charge +3 C is separated from another positive charge of +5 C by a distance of 7m. What is the magnitude of the e

Aneli [31]

1. The magnitude of the electric force between the two charges is 2.8×10⁹ N (Option B)

2. The net charge on the molecule is -8×10⁻¹⁹ C (Option D)

3. The magnitude of the force between the charges is 16000 N (Option C)

4. The correct statement is: A neutral object has equal numbers of protons and electrons. (Option C)

<h3>1. How to determine the force</h3>

Charge 1 (q₁) = +3 C
Charge 2 (q₂) = +5 C
Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Distance apart (r) = 7 m
Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹ × 3 × 5) / (7)²

F = 2.8×10⁹ N

<h3>2. How to determine the net charge on the molecule</h3>

Electron = 223 electrons
Proton = 218 protons
Net Charge =?

Charge = Proton - Electron

Charge = 218 - 223

Charge = -5 electrons

But

1 electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Thus,

Net Charge = -5 × 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Net Charge = -8×10⁻¹⁹ C

<h3>3. How to determine the force</h3>

Charge 1 (q₁) = 2×10⁻⁴ C
Charge 2 (q₂) = 8×10⁻⁴ C
Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Distance apart (r) = 0.3 m
Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹ × 2×10⁻⁴ × 8×10⁻⁴) / (0.3)²

F = 16000 N

<h3>4. What is a neutral object?</h3>

A neutral object is an object having equal numbers of protons and electrons. For example, an object with 4 protons and 4 electrons is said to be neutral as illustrated below

Electron = 4 electrons
Proton = 4 protons
Net Charge =?

Charge = Proton - Electron

Charge = 4 - 4

Charge = 0 (neutral)

Thus, the correct statement about neutral object, given in the question is: A neutral object has equal numbers of protons and electrons (Option C)
