Answer:

The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds.

Hope this helps :)

If the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

In this example we will analyze the forces acting on your body as you move in an elevator. Specifically, we will consider the ca
dexar [7]

Answer:

The reading of the scale during the acceleration is 446.94 N

Explanation:

Given;

the reading of the scale when the elevator is at rest = your weight, w = 600 N

downward acceleration the elevator, a = 2.5 m/s²

The reading of the scale can be found by applying Newton's second law of motion;

the reading of the scale  = net force acting on your body

R = mg + m(-a)

The negative sign indicates downward acceleration

R = m(g - a)

where;

R is the reading of the scale which is your apparent weight

m is the mass of your body

g is acceleration due to gravity, = 9.8 m/s²

m = w/g

m = 600 / 9.8

m = 61.225 kg

The reading of the scale is now calculated as;

R = m(g-a)

R = 61.225(9.8 - 2.5)

R = 446.94 N

Therefore, the reading of the scale during the acceleration is 446.94 N
