Answer:

Use the equation P = mgh. (U is the Potential energy, m = the mass in kg, g = gravity, h = height from floor/earth).

The answer would be about 3532 J

Answer:

The answer to your question is Pe = 3531.6 J

Explanation:

Data

mass = 90 kg

height = 4 m

acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

Potential energy = Pe = mgh

Process

Potential energy is the energy of an object due to its position.

1.- Substitution

Pe = (90)(9,81)(4)

2.- Simplification and result

Pe = 3531.6 J

<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>
