A block slides along a frictionless surface with 220 J of kinetic energy. It then goes up a frictionless ramp. When the kinetic

energy drops to 55 J, how much gravitational potential energy does the block have?

Hello!

For the explanation of this energy conservation exercise, where we'll use <u>energy conservation law</u>, let's see what this principle proposes.

How you should know, mechanical energy conserves in every point, that is to say mechanical energy is same in A point like B point. (Mechanical energy will be represented by "Me")

Once time we know that, let's take the 220 Joules momentum like A point, and when 55 Joules momentum like B point.

Then, let's use the <u>energy conservation principle:</u>

Me(A) = Me(B)

  • We know Mechanical energy in A point, so just lets replace according to our data:

220 J = Me(B)

  • In B point, we know kinetic energy, but <u>we dont know gravitational potential energy</u>, so lets descompose Mechanical energy, into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

220 J = Ke + Gpe

  • We know kinetic energy value, so lets replace it:

220 J = 55 J + Gpe

  • Finally, just clean Gpe and resolve it:

Gpe = 220 J - 55 J = 165 J

Gravitational potential energy is of One hundred sixty five Joules <u>(165 J).</u>

A girl lifts a 160-N load to a height of 1 m in 0.5 s. How much power is used to lift the load?
12345 [234]
First, find the work done. W = f*d, so 160 N * 1 m = 160 J. Then divide the work by the time to get the power. P = W/t. P = 160 J / 0.5 s = 320 W.
The answer is 320 W. Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)
