Answer:

All of these answers are dependent upon the specific scenario, but here are some general answers.

1. An object with a greater height will have more potential energy.

2. Potential energy can be changed into kinetic energy as an object falls. It loses height (potential energy) and gains speed (kinetic energy).

3. Depends on what scenario your class had.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

Kipish [7]

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35 J

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.25kg ball rolling at a speed of 2.5m/s

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy formula:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

m=mass

v=speed

Given:

m=0.25kg

v=2.5m/s

Plug the values in:

KE = 1/2(0.25kg)(2.5m/s)²

KE = 0.78125 J (Joules)

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.00 ✕ 105 kg on springs that ha

jasenka [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, $m=4\times 10^5\ kg$

(a) Time period of oscillation, T = 2.4 s

The formula for the time period of spring is given by :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

Where

k is the force constant

$k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 \times 4\times 10^5}{(2.4)^2}$

$k=2.74\times 10^6\ N/m$

(b) Displacement in the spring, x = 2.2 m

Energy stored in the spring is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.74\times 10^6\ N/m\times (2.2\ m)^2$

$U=6.63\times 10^6\ J$

Hence, this is the required solution.
