8 0

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 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a straight line at a constant speed of 800. Meters per second. The magnitude of
natulia [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Acceleration is equal to rate of change in velocity.

Here velocity is constant so acceleration is zero.

It means the net force acting on the vehicle is zero.

A child in a tree house uses a rope attached to a basket to lift a 24 N dog upward through a distance of 4.9 m into the house.
jenyasd209 [6]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

117.6 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Force of the dog is 24 N
  • Distance upward is 4.9 m

We are required to calculate the work done

  • Work done is the product of force and distance
  • That is; Work done = Force × distance
  • It is measured in Joules.

In this case;

Force applied is equivalent to the weight of the dog.

Work done = 24 N × 4.9 m

                  = 117.6 Joules

Hence, the work done in lifting the dog is 117.6 Joules

If the forces acting on an object are balanced, wihat must be true about the motion of this object?
wolverine [178]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be  at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres
inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )

Here,  v_{1} is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and v_{2} is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, v_{1} =1.4 m/s

Now from equation continuity,

v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}.

Here, A_{1} and A_{2} are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}.

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}

v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s

Substituting these values  with the density of water is 1000 \ kg/m^3 in pressure difference formula we get.

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa
