Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

A girl stands on the edge of a merry-go-round of radius 1.71 m. If the merry go round uniformly accerlerates from rest to 20 rpm

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

Explanation:

initially the merry go round is at rest

after 6.73 s the merry go round will accelerates to 20 rpm

so final angular speed is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi ( \frac{20}{60})$

$\omega = 2.10 rad/s$

so final tangential speed is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 1.71 (2.10) = 3.58 m/s$

now average acceleration of the girl is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{3.58 - 0}{6.73}$

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

a man crossed a road 8.25m wide at a speed of 2.01m/s,how long does it take to get man to cross the road

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

t = 4.1 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Width of road which is to be crossed by a man is 8.25 m, it means it is distance to be covered.

Speed of man is 2.01 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the man to cross the road. It is a concept of speed. Speed of a person is given by total distance covered divided by time taken. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

t is time taken

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{8.25}{2.01}\\\\t=4.1\ s$

So, the time taken by the man to cross the road is 4.1 seconds.
