Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy can be found using the following formula.

$E_p=m*g*h$

where <em>m</em> is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h </em>is the height.

The mass of the ball is 2 kilograms, its height is 5 meters, and the acceleration due to gravity is 10 Newtons per kilogram.

$m= 2 \ kg \\h= 5 \ m \\g= 10 \ N/kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$E_p=(2 \ kg)(10 \ N/kg)(5 \ m)$

Multiply the first 2 numbers. The kilograms (kg) will cancel out when multiplying.

$E_p=(20 \ N)(5 \ m)$

Multiply again.

$E_p=100 \ N*m$

1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule
Therefore, 100 N*m= 100 J

$E_p= 100 \ J$

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is <u>100 Joules.</u>

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy

= mgh

= (2kg)(10N/kg)(5m)

= 100J.

Determine the launch speed of a horizontally launched projectile that lands 26.3m from the base of a 19.3m high cliff.

atroni [7]

The launch velocity of the projectile is 13.28 m/s.

What is projectile motion?

The motion of an object thrown in the air under the force of gravity is known as projectile motion.

Since the object is launched horizontally, its initial velocity along the vertical direction is zero. From the second kinematic equation,

s=u*t+(1/2)at^2.

where s is the displacement, t is the time, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. Since the height is decreasing, so it will be taken negative.

For the vertical motion, s=-19.3 m, a=-9.8 m/s^2 and u=0. Put the values in the above equation and solve it.

-19.3 = (0)*t+(1/2)*(-9.8)*t^2

19.3 = (1/2)*(9.8)*t^2

t=1.98 s

Since the velocity along the horizontal direction is constant, the displacement along the horizontal direction is given by the formula,

X=vt

where X is the horizontal displacement, v is the initial horizontal velocity and t is the time.

For the horizontal motion, X=26.3 m and t=1.98 s. Put the values in this equation and solve it.

26.3=v*(1.98)

v=13.28 m/s

The launch velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity, so it is equal to 13.28 m/s.

Why are Murcury, venus, earth and mars called the "terrestrial" planets?

Fittoniya [83]

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are considered terrestrial planets because those planets are mainly composed of metal or rock and are closest to the sun.

Suppose that the electric field in the Earth's atmosphere is E = 8.60 101 N/C, pointing downward. Determine the electric charge

asambeis [7]

Answer:

q = 3.87 x 10⁵ C

Explanation:

given,

Electric field, E = 8.60 x 10¹ = 86 N/C

radius of earth, R = 6371 Km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m

Coulomb constant, K = 9 x 10⁹ N · m²/C²

Charge on the earth = ?

the electric field at the point

$E =\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

$q =\dfrac{Er^2}{k}$

inserting all the values

$q =\dfrac{86\times (6.371\times 10^6)^2}{9\times 10^{9}}$

q = 3.87 x 10⁵ C

The electric charge on the earth is equal to 3.87 x 10⁵ C

A particle of mass moves under a force given bywhere and are unit vectors in the and directions. The particle is placed at the o

krek1111 [17]

The elapsed time when the particle returns to the origin is determined from the ratio of initial velocity and acceleration of the particle.

<h3>Time of motion of the particle</h3>

The time of motion of the particle is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion.

F = ma

F = m(v)/t

where;

t is time of motion of the particle
m is mass of the particle
v is velocity of the particle

a = v - u/t

v = u + at

when the particle returns to the origin, direction of u, = negative.

final velocity = 0

0 = -u + at

at = u

t = u/a
