Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 29,400 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

E_P= m \times g \times h

The object has a mass of 150 kilograms and is raised to a height of 20 meters. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second.

  • m= 150 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²
  • h= 20 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_p= 150 \ kg \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 20 \ m

Multiply the three numbers and their units together.

E_p=1470 \ kg*m/s^2 \times 20 m

E_p=29400 \ kg*m^2/s^2

Convert the units.

1 kilogram meter square per second squared (1 kg *m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joule (J). Our answer of 29,400 kg*m²/s² is equal to 29,400 Joules.

E_p= 29,400 \ J

The crate has <u>29,400 Joules</u> of potential energy.

You want to put a new CD in your car stereo.While driving at 45 mi/h,you look away for 2.0s.What distance (in miles) do you driv
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

You drive 0.025 miles blind (or 132 ft)

Explanation:

(distance) = (speed) x (time)

(distance blind) = (speed) x (time looking for CD)

(distance blind) = (45 mi/hr) x (2 s) x (1/3600 hr/s) = 0.025 miles = 132 ft

What is the heat flux (W/m^2), due to radiation heat transfer, from a black body if the surface temperature is 1000C? The convec
12345 [234]

Answer:

55000 W/m²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Surface temperature, T = 1000°C

Hear transfer coefficient, h = 55 W/m²C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is given as:

h = Heat flux/Temperature

Hence, Heat Flux, q, is given as:

q = h * T

q = 55 * 1000 = 55000 W/m²C

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
sleet_krkn [62]

-- Accelerating at the rate of 8 m/s², Andy's speed
   after 30 seconds is

                                   (8 m/s²) x (30.0 s)  =  240 m/s .

-- His average speed during that time is

                                 (1/2) (0 + 240 m/s)  =  120 m/s .

-- In 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s,
   Andy will travel a distance of
                                                 (120 m/s) x (30 sec) = 3,600 m

                                                                                = 3.6 km .

"But how ? ! ?", you ask.

How in the world can Andy leave a stop light and then
cover 3.6 km = 2.24 miles in the next 30 seconds ?

The answer is:  His acceleration of  8 m/s², or about  0.82 G
is what does it for him.

At that rate of acceleration ...

-- Andy achieves "Zero to 60 mph" in 3.35 seconds,
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- He hits 100 mph in 5.59 seconds after jumping the light ...
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- He hits 200 mph in 11.2 seconds after jumping the light ...
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- After accelerating at 8 m/s² for 30 seconds, Andy and his
   car are moving at  537 miles per hour !
   We really don't know whether he keeps accelerating,
    but we kind of doubt it. 

A couple of observations in conclusion:

-- We can't actually calculate his displacement with the information given.
   Displacement is the distance and direction between the starting- and
   ending-points, and we're not told whether Andy maintains a straight line
   during this tense period, or is all over the road, adding great distance
   but not a lot of displacement.

-- It's also likely that sometime during this performance, he is pulled
   over to the side by an alert cop in a traffic-control helicopter, and
   never actually succeeds in accomplishing the given description.
