The change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199430 J.

<h3> Gravitational potential energy:</h3>

This is the energy of a body due to its position in a gravitational field. The  S.I unit of gravitational potential energy is Joules (J)

The Change in the skier's gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • ΔP.E = mg(Δh)............... Equation 1

Where:

  • ΔP.E = Change in the skier's potential energy
  • m = mass of the skier
  • Δh = change in height to which it was raised
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 55 kg
  • Δh = 370 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 55×370×9.8
  • ΔP.E = 199430 J.

Hence, The change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199430 J.

A 3.1 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 38 m tall building. What is the speed of the ball when it is halfway from the buildin
Archy [21]

Answer:

19.3m/s

Explanation:

Use third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2gh

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity

insert values to get answer

v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s

Coach Hogue is riding his motorcycle in a circle on wet pavement. Suddenly the bike slides out from under him. What failed to pr
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Force of Friction

Explanation:

As coach Hogue rode his motorcycle round in circle on the wet pavement, the motorcycle and the coach system tends to move in a straight path but due to intervention by the coach they maintain the circular path

The motion equation is

v = ωr and we have the centripetal acceleration given by

α = ω²r and therefore centripetal  force is then

m×α = m × ω²r = m × v²/r

The force required to keep the coach and the motorcycle system in their circular path can be obtained by the impressed force of friction acting towards the center of the circular motion.

Point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance of 60 cm along a horizontal axis.
amm1812

Answer:

38 cm from q1(right)

Explanation:

Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m

Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.

Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).

=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²

=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²

=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x

=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)

=> 1.03/2.73 = x

≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x

How can you determine the amount of work done on an object? (joules, work, power...etc.)
Novay_Z [31]
Work done is equal to force by distance; so you take the force exerted, in newtons, and multiply that by the direction it's moved (from the starting point in a line, not along the path it's taken.)

A proton is moved from a position where the electric potential is 125 V to a position where the electric potential is 275 V. The
kakasveta [241]
We determine the electric potential energy of the proton by multiplying the net electric potential to the charge of the proton. The net electric potential is the difference of the final state to the that of the initial state. So, it would be 275 - 125 = 150 V.

electric potential energy = 150 (<span>1.602 × 10-19) = 2.4x10^-17 J</span>
