If a 5 kg bowling ball is lifted to a height of 2 meters, how much potential

Physics
1 answer:
natka813 [3]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 98.1 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

E_p=mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass is 5 kilograms and the height is 2 meters. Assuming this ball is on Earth, then the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 meters per square second.

m= 5 \ kg \\g= 9.81 \ m/s^2 \\\h= 2 \ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_p= ( 5 \ kg )(9.81 \ m/s^2)( 2 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers.

E_p=49.05 \ kg*m/s^2 (2 \ m )

Multiply again.

E_p= 98.1 \ kg*m^2/s^2

  • 1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
  • Our answer is equal to 98.1 Joules

E_p= 98.1 \ J

The ball has 98.1 Joules of potential energy.

Two clowns are launched from the same spring-loaded circus cannon with the spring compressed the same distance each time. Clown
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the spring is k.

For clown A:

m = 40 kg

let the extension in the spring is y.

So, the spring force, F = k y

m g = k y

40 x g = k x y

y = 40 x g / k      ..... (1)

For clown B:

m' = 60 kg

Let the extension in the spring is y'.

So, the spring force, F' = k y'

m' g = k y'

y' = 60 x g / k      .....(2)  

Kinetic energy for A, K = 1/2 ky^2

Kinetic energy for B, K' = 1/2 ky'^2

So, K/K' = y^2/y'^2 K / K' = (40 x 40) / (60 x 60)     (from equation (1) and (2))

K / K' = 0.444

K = 0.444 K'

So the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

Study this equation carefully. What classification should this reaction have? Cu + 2AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag synthesis decomposition
mario62 [17]

Answer;

-Single replacement

Explanation;

The reaction;

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3= Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag , is an example of a single replacement reaction.

-It is a type of chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.

In the above reaction copper(Cu) takes the place of silver(Ag) in the salt AgNO3 to form Copper (ii) nitrate (CuNO3) and silver metal (Ag).

- Another example of a single replacement reaction occurs when potassium (K) reacts with water (H2O). A colorless solid compound named potassium hydroxide (KOH) forms, and hydrogen gas (H2) is set free.

3) If an airplane is in flight cruising at constant velocity, what can be said about the net work
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

<h2>Yes!</h2>

<h3>In physics, constant velocity occurs when there is no net force acting on the object causing it to accelerate. In terms of airplane flight, the two main forces influencing its velocity forward are drag and thrust. At a constant altitude, when the force of thrust equals the opposing force of drag, then the airplane will experience uniform motion in one direction. This can be further explained by Newton’s First Law. </h3>
