Answer:

$potential \: energy = mgh \\ m = 783 \\ g = 10 \\ h = 164 \\ pe = 783 \times 10 \times 164 \\ = 7830 \times 164 \\ = 1284120 \: joule \\ thank \: you$

Explanation:

$\sf \: Mass \: of \: the \: body: 783\: kg$

$\sf \: Acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity : 10$

$\sf \: Height : 164 \: metres$

$\sf\longmapsto \: 783 \times 10 \times 164$

$\sf\longmapsto 7830 \times 164$

$\sf\longmapsto 1284120\:$

$\sf\longmapsto 1284120 \:Joule\:$

Carlos pushes a 3 kg box with a force of 9 newtons. The force of friction on the box is 3 newtons in the opposite direction. Wha

Ivenika [448]

The 'net' force acting on the box is (9 - 3) = 6 newtons
in the direction that Carlos is pushing.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

6 = (3) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 3 :

<em>2 m/s² = acceleration</em>

As Clinton walks he pushes his shoe against the track.

Valentin [98]

Answer:A:The track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

Explanation:According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In this case, the action force is Clinton's shoe pushing on the track. As this happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction force in which the track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

. Consider a fully extended arm that is rotating about the shoulder such that with a shoulder-to-hand length of 30 cm. If the ar

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

13.309 m/s²

Explanation:

Length from shoulder to hand, l = 30 cm = 0.3 m

initial velocity, u = 1 m/s

final velocity, v = 2.5 m/s

time, t = 3 s

Let the tangential acceleration is a.

by using first equation of motion

v = u + at

2.5 = 1 + 3 a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Let the centripetal acceleration is a'.

a' = v'²/l

a' = 2 x 2 / 0.3

a' = 13.3 m/s²

The tangential acceleration and the centripetal acceleration are both perpendicular to each other. So, the net acceleration is given by

$A=\sqrt{a^{2}+a'^{2}}$

$A=\sqrt{0.5^{2}+13.3^{2}}$

A = 13.309 m/s²

Harry Potter is chasing his nemesis Draco Malfoy during a quidditch match. Initially, Harry is 35m behind Draco, who has just sp

Sophie [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

harry is 35 m behind Draco

speed of Draco = 40 m/s

original speed of harry = 50 m/s

acceleration = ?

time taken by the Draco

t = $\dfrac{r}{u} =\dfrac{75}{40}$

t = 1.875 s

distance covered by Harry

d = 35 + 175 = 210 m

to calculate the acceleration of harry

$s = u t+ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$210 = 50\times 1.875+ \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.875^2$

a × 3.516 × 0.5 = 116.25

a = 66.126 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²
