The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

An object has an acceleration of 18.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass were tripled then the new acceleration wo
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

12.0 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

F = ma

Solving for acceleration:

a = F/m

If force is doubled and mass is tripled:

a' = (2F)/(3m)

a' = ⅔ (F/m)

a' = ⅔ (18.0 m/s²)

a' = 12.0 m/s²

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

1. 3) only a constant gravitation force that acts downward

2. b) Equal to the accleration at the surface of the asteroidc)

Explanation:

1.

  • In absence of atmosphere, the force that will act on the steroid is the force of gravity due to asteroid.
  • Gravitational force is a long range force acting always attractive in nature.
  • It is a contact-less field force which does not requires a medium.

Mathematically given as:

F=G.\frac{M_1.M_2}{R^2}

where:

G = gravitational constant

M_1\ \&\ M_2 are the mass of the two objects

R= radial distance between the two objects.

2.

The acceleration of the ball at the top height of the path is still under the influence of the gravity of the two masses so it will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the asteroid. Acceleration always remains constant.
