The potential energy is most often referred to as the "energy at rest" and is dependent on the elevation of an object. This can be calculated through the equation,

     E = mgh

where E is the potential energy, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this item, we are not given with the mass of the cart so we assume it to be m. The force is therefore,

   E = m(9.8 m/s²)(0.5 m) = 4.9m

Hence, the potential energy is equal to 4.9m.

To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

man upward acceleration is 0.14m/s^2

Explanation:

given data:

mass of man = 72 kg

downward force = 360 N

The mass of man of weight 72 kg is hang from two sections of rope, one section pf rope ties around man waist and other section is ties in man hands. when he pulls down the rope  with 360 N force then each section of  rope pulls with 360 N

we know that

Weight= mass × gravity= 72kg × 9.8 = 705.6N

Force = mass× acceleration

Force= -705.6 + (2 × 358) = 10.4 N

acceleration = \frac{10.4}{72} = 0.14m/s^2

A wagon full of manure accidentally rolls down a driveway for 5.0m while a person pushes against the wagon with a force of 420 N
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J

In this lab, you will use a dynamics track to generate collisions between two carts. If momentum is conserved, what variable cha
BartSMP [9]

In collision type of problems since momentum is always conserved

we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

So here along with this equation we also required one more equation for the restitution coefficient

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})

so above two equations are required to find the velocity after collision

here the change in velocity occurs due to the contact force while they contact in each other

so this is the impulse of collision while they are in contact with each other while in collision which changes the velocity of two colliding objects

Car 1 goes around a level curve at a constant speed of 65 km/h . The curve is a circular arc with a radius of 95 m . Car 2 goes
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on is 380 meters.

Explanation:

Speed of car 1, v_1=65\ km/h

Radius of the circular arc, r_1=95\ m

Car 2 has twice the speed of Car 1, v_2=130\ km/h

We need to find the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on have to be in order for both cars to have the same centripetal acceleration. We know that the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

According to given condition,

\dfrac{v_1^2}{r_1}=\dfrac{v_2^2}{r_2}

\dfrac{65^2}{95}=\dfrac{130^2}{r_2}

On solving we get :

r_2=380\ m

So, the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on is 380 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 5-ft-tall person walks away from the wall at a rate of 2 ft/sec. A spotlight is located on the ground 40 ft from the wall. How
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The rate of change of the height is - 4 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of the person, y = 5 ft

The rate at which the person walks away, \frac{dx}{dt} = 4\ ft/s

Distance of the spotlight from the wall, x = 40 ft

Now,

To calculate the rate of change in the height, \frac{dy}{dt} of the person when, x = 10 m:

From fig 1.

\Delta ABC[\tex] ≈ [tex]\Delta PQC[\tex]Thus[tex]\frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{PQ}{QC}

\frac{y}{40} = \frac{5}{x}

xy = 200                                                                       (1)

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t time t:

x\frac{dy}{dt} + y\frac{dx}{dt} = 0

Thus

\frac{dy}{dt} = - \frac{y}{x}\frac{dx}{dt}              (2)

From eqn (1):

When x = 10 ft

10y = 200

y = 20 ft

Using eqn (2):

\frac{dy}{dt} = - \frac{20}{10}\times 2 = - 4\ ft
