In which situations is gravitational potential energy present?

1 answer:

6 0

Gravitational potential energy is associated with the shape or position of an object.
1.)When an object is placed at height h above ground, gravitational potential energy associated with it is given by,
P.E = mgh
2.)In projectile motion during upward motion, kinetic energy of object is converted into potential energy.

What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5s?

Crank

Answer:

D. 15 m/s downward

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = -14.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.

A 0.25-kg ball sits on the roof of a building that is 10 meters tall. Find the GPE. (Gravity = 9.8 on Earth)

Tasya [4]

Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height

Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...

GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)

GPE = 24.5 J

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s$

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.
