Acceleration occurs when velocities change.velocity changes either because the speed changes or the direction change.

Use the data provided to calculate the gravitational potential energy of each cylinder mass. Round your answers to the nearest t

Goryan [66]

Answer: 14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ the acceleration due gravity and $h=500m$ the height of the object.

Knowing this, let's begin with the calculaations:

For m=3kg

$U_{p}=(3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)$

$U_{p}=14700J=14.7kJ$

For m=6kg

$U_{p}=(6kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)$

$U_{p}=29400J=29.4kJ$

For m=9kg

$U_{p}=(9kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)$

$U_{p}=44100J=44.1kJ$

You are pulling a child in a wagon. The rope handle is inclined upward at a 60∘ angle. The tension in the handle is 20 N.

dem82 [27]

Angle (θ) = 60°
Force (F) = 20 N
Distance (s) = 200 m
Therefore, work done
= Fs Cos θ
= (20 × 200 × Cos 60°) J
= (20 × 200 × 1/2) J
= (20 × 100) J
= 2000 J

Answer:

2000 J

Hope you could get an idea from here.

What is a likely consequence of preventing prescribed burns to forest ecosystems?

liraira [26]

The forest ecosystem will regain back its natural ecology compared to burning of the forest and other illegal activities done to the forest. And also, some of the animals living in that forest will live and those that are endangered will not be threatened.
