Hi there!

Recall that:

GPE = mgh

KE = 1/2mv²

At the TOP of an object's trajectory, the GPE is at a maximum. There is NO kinetic energy at this moment.

At the bottom of the fall, the KINETIC energy is at a maximum while the GPE is a minimum (assuming the ground to be the zero-line.)

We can write this out:

GPE = KE

mgh = 1/2mv²

A.

There is an 'm' on both sides, so you can divide both sides by 'm':

(mgh)/m = 1/2mv²/m

<u>gh = 1/2v²</u>

B.

Solve for v.

gh = 1/2v²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2gh = v²

Take the square root:

<u>v = √2gh </u>

C.

We can use the equation:

v = √2gh

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = length of fall (3.67 m)

v = velocity (m/s)

Plug in the knowns:

v = √2(9.8)(3.67) = <u>8.48 m/s</u>

A 55.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300. What h
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

161.86 N

Explanation:

mass of box m= 55.0 kg

weight of the box, mg= 55×9.81

g here is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/sec^2

coefficient of friction between the box and the surface μ= 0.3

the friction force F_s= μmg= 0.3×55×9.81

=161.86 N

to move the ball horizontal force required is 161.86 N

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

Explanation:

Charge, q=9.4\times 10^{-10}\ C

Potential, V = 50 V

It is required to find the electric potential energy in a capacitor stored in it. The formula of the electric potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}qV\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.4\times 10^{-10}\times 50\\\\E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

So, the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is 2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

Jack and Jill have made up since the previous HW assignment, and are now playing on a 10 meter seesaw. Jill is sitting on one en
Airida [17]

Answer: 3 m.

Explanation:

Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by  gravity acting on both children  must be 0.

As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.

If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):

mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0

60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0

Solving for d:

d = 3 m.
