The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:F=1.7802

Explanation:

Since we've been given the mass to be .18kg,we are asked to find the Force of which the formulae is

F=ma where f-force,m-mass and a-acceleration due to gravity

So we can just substitute

F-?.m=.18 and a9.89

F=.18×9.89

F=1.7802N

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

w =  - 508.53 joules

q = - 3091.47 joules

Explanation:

Let us convert the time in hours into seconds

0.010* 3600\\= 36

Change in internal energy

\delta E = p * \delta t

where E is the internal energy in Joules

p is the power in watts

and t is the time in seconds

\delta E = - 100 * 36\\

\delta E = - 3600 Joules

Amount of work done by the system

w = - P * \delta V

where P is the pressure and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

w = - 1 * ( 5.92 -0.90)\\

w = -5.02 liter-atmospheres

Work done in Joules

- 5.02 * 101.3\\= 508.53Joules

q = \delta E - w\\

Substituting the given values we get -

q = - 3600 - (-508.53)\\q = - 3091.47

Thus

w =  - 508.53 joules

q = - 3091.47 joules

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).
telo118 [61]
2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy
