Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)

A girl at an airport rolls a ball north on a moving walking that moves east. If the ball’s speed with respect to the walkway is

sweet-ann [11.9K]

We have to add two vectors.

Vector #1: 0.15 m/s north

Vector #2: 1.50 m/s east

Their sum:

Magnitude: √(0.15² + 1.50²)

Magnitude = √(0.0225+2.25)

Magnitude = √2.2725

Magnitude = <em>1.5075 m/s</em>

Direction = arctan(0.15/1.50) north of east

Direction = <em>5.71° north of east</em>

Calculate the volume of 19 kilograms of petrol if the density of petrol is 800 kg/m?

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

i hope this will help you :)

Explanation:

mass=19kg

density=800kg/m³

volume=?

as we know that

density=mass/volume

density×volume=mass

volume=mass/density

putting the values

volume=19kg/800kg/m³

so volume=0.02375≈0.02m³

A hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down. What are the displacement and distance of th

Marysya12 [62]

Given that a hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down.

The displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.

When the balloon is going up, the displacement is positive. and when the balloon is coming down, the displacement is negative.

The total displacement = 50 - 50 = 0

The distance is a measurement of length between to different points or position.

For distance, there is no need to consider direction. There is no consideration for positive or negative signs

While the distance = 50 + 50 = 100 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is C

That is, The displacement is zero and the distance is 100 meters

1. A 100-kg crate is pulled across a warehouse floor using a rope with a force of 250 N at an angle of 45o from the horizontal.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

(a) The net force is 80.394 N

The acceleration of the crate is 0.804 m/s²

(b) the final velocity of the crate is 5.02 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the crate, m = 100 kg

applied force, F = 250 N

angle of inclination, θ = 45°

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.12

Applied force in y-direction, $F_y = Fsin \theta = 250sin45 = 176.78 \ N$

Applied force in x-direction, $F_x = Fcos \theta = 250cos45 = 176.78 \ N$

The normal force is calculated as;

N + Fy -W = 0

N = W - Fy

N = (100 x 9.8) - 176.78

N = 980 - 176.78 = 803.22 N

The frictional force is given by;

Fk = μN

Fk = 0.12 x 803.22

Fk = 96.386 N

(a) The net force is given by;

$F_{net} = F_x - F_k\\\\F_{net} = 176.78-96.386\\\\F_{net} = 80.394 \ N$

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}\\\\ a = \frac{80.394}{100}\\\\ a = 0.804 \ m/s^2$

(b) the velocity of the crate after 5.0 s

$F = ma= \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\Ft =m(v-u)\\\\v-u = \frac{Ft}{m}\\\\ v = \frac{Ft}{m} + u\\\\v = \frac{F_{net}*t}{m} + u\\\\v = \frac{80.394*5}{100} + 1\\\\v = 5.02 \ m/s$
