  • Mass=m=1kg
  • Height=h=2cm=0.02m
  • Acceleration due to gravity=g=10m/s^2

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow P.E=mgh

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow PE=1(10)(0.02)

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow PE=0.2J

<h2><u>POTENTIAL </u><u>ENERGY</u></h2>

<h3>Question:</h3>

A 1 kg mass is thrown to a height of 2cm. What is the potential energy?

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • \color{hotpink}{  \bold{0.196  \:  \: J}}

— — — — — — — — — —

<h3>Formula:</h3>

— To calculate the potential energy, use formula

  • \underline{ \boxed{ \tt PE=mgh}}

where,

  • PE is the potential energy in joules (J)
  • m is the mass in kilograms (kg)
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
  • h is the height in meters (m)

- To calculate the potential energy, multiply all the givens.

<h3>Given that:</h3>
  • m (mass) = 1 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h (height) = 2 cm

— To get the P.E (potential energy), we need to convert 2 cm (centimeters) in m (meters) first.

All we know that 1 cm is equal to 0.01 meter. So, to get the value of 2 cm in meters, all we have to do is to multiply it by 0.01.

  • \tt \:  2  \times 0.01 =  \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \tt0.02}}}
<h3 /><h3>Solution:</h3>

— Substitute the givens in the formula, we get:

  • \tt \: PE = mgh \\

  • \tt   PE= (1 kg) × (9.8 m/s²) × (0.02 m) \\

  • \tt PE = \underline{ \boxed{ \blue{ \tt0.196  \: J }}} \\

Hence, the potential energy is <u>0.196 Joules</u>.

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes
Alchen [17]
<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

x=V_{o}cos\theta t   (1)

Where:

V_{o}=54.5m/s is the projectile's initial speed

\theta=35\° is the angle

t=2.80s is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

x  is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (2)

Where:

y_{o}=0  is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it  was launched at ground level)

y  is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

g=9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)   (3)

x=125m   (4)  This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}   (5)

y=48.308m   (6)  This is the vertical final position of the projectile

Why can’t solids flow
Annette [7]

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A       force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4  m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N    max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N  if force not to exceed limit   (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2      about 2 g
