Answer:

1225J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

where

m is the mass

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

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

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

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

$PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J$

A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

4.17 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let's start by analyzing the vertical motion of the pea.

The initial vertical velocity of the pea is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (7.39)(sin 69.0^{\circ})=6.90 m/s$

Now we can solve the problem by applying the suvat equation:

$v_y^2-u_y^2=2as$

where

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity when the pea hits the ceiling

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

s = 1.90 is the distance from the ceiling

Solving for $v_y$ ,

$v_y = \sqrt{u_y^2+2as}=\sqrt{(6.90)^2+2(-9.8)(1.90)}=3.22 m/s$

Instead, the horizontal velocity remains constant during the whole motion, and it is given by

$v_x = u cos \theta = (7.39)(cos 69.0^{\circ})=2.65 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the pea when it hits the ceiling is

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{2.65^2+3.22^2}=4.17 m/s$

A 10-kilogram box is at static equilibrium, and the downward pull of gravity acting on the box is 98 newtons. What is the minimu

Nikolay [14]

The box is at equilibrium, so the net force on the box is zero (the force of gravity on the box is equal to the force exerted up on the box by the surface on which it rests.)
To pick up the box, our upward force must be greater than the force of gravity on the box (the weight). So, we must lift up the box with a force greater than 98 newtons. :)

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. he then falls onto a thick pad. the top of

scZoUnD [109]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by 50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²

Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)
