calculate it.
- angela uses a force of 200 newtons to lift her grocery bag while doing 50 joules of work.
how far did she lift the grocery bags?
- the baseball player does 1500 joules of work when hitting a baseball into left field.
assuming the baseball landed 120 meters away from home plate, how much force did the
player use to hit the ball?
- sketch a graph that shows the amount of work done on a cart of the same mass at different
angles of a ramp that reach the same height.
- sketch a graph that shows the amount of force done on a cart of the same mass at different
angles of a ramp that reach the same height.
Question 4
Step1: Identify Energy Type
The cinder block is at a height, so it has gravitational potential energy. The formula for gravitational potential energy is $PE = mgh$, where $m$ is mass, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity ($9.8\ m/s^2$), and $h$ is height.
Step2: Plug in Values
Given $m = 17.9\ kg$, $g = 9.8\ m/s^2$, $h = 200\ m$. Calculate $PE = 17.9\times9.8\times200$.
First, $17.9\times9.8 = 175.42$. Then, $175.42\times200 = 35084$.
Step1: Recall Work Formula
The formula for work is $W = Fd$, where $W$ is work, $F$ is force, and $d$ is distance. We need to find $d$, so rearrange the formula to $d=\frac{W}{F}$.
Step2: Substitute Values
Given $W = 50\ J$, $F = 200\ N$. So $d=\frac{50}{200}=0.25\ m$.
Step1: Recall Work Formula
Using $W = Fd$, we need to find $F$, so rearrange to $F=\frac{W}{d}$.
Step2: Substitute Values
Given $W = 1500\ J$, $d = 120\ m$. So $F=\frac{1500}{120}=12.5\ N$.
