Okay, I will help you with these physics problems.
The cinder block has potential energy because it is at a certain height above the ground. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position relative to a reference point.
The formula for potential energy ($PE$) is:
$PE = m \cdot g \cdot h$
where:
* $m$ is the mass of the object (in kg)
* $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
* $h$ is the height of the object above the reference point (in meters)
In this case:
* $m = 79 \, \text{kg}$
* $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$
* $h = 20 \, \text{m}$
So, the potential energy of the cinder block is:
$PE = 79 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 20 \, \text{m} = 15484 \, \text{J}$
Therefore, the cinder block has 15484 Joules of potential energy.
Answer: The block has potential energy, and its value is 15484 J.
The bell at the top of the tower also has potential energy because it is at a certain height above the ground.
The formula for potential energy ($PE$) is the same:
$PE = m \cdot g \cdot h$
where:
* $m$ is the mass of the object (in kg)
* $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
* $h$ is the height of the object above the reference point (in meters)
In this case:
* $m = 190 \, \text{kg}$
* $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$
* $h = 45 \, \text{m}$
So, the potential energy of the bell is:
$PE = 190 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 45 \, \text{m} = 83790 \, \text{J}$
Therefore, the bell has 83790 Joules of potential energy.
Answer: The bell has potential energy, and its value is 83790 J.
Okay, I will continue solving the physics problems you provided.
The roller coaster at the top of a 72 m hill has potential energy because it is at a certain height above the ground.
The formula for potential energy ($PE$) is:
$PE = m \cdot g \cdot h$
where:
* $m$ is the mass of the object (in kg)
* $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
* $h$ is the height of the object above the reference point (in meters)
In this case:
* $m = 966 \, \text{kg}$
* $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$
* $h = 72 \, \text{m}$
So, the potential energy of the roller coaster is:
$PE = 966 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 72 \, \text{m} = 681964.8 \, \text{J}$
Therefore, the roller coaster has 681964.8 Joules of potential energy.
Answer: The roller coaster has potential energy, and its value is 681964.8 J.
We need to determine the potential energy of a 5.0 kg book on three different shelves with heights 1.0 m, 1.5 m, and 2.0 m.
The formula for potential energy ($PE$) is:
$PE = m \cdot g \cdot h$
where:
* $m$ is the mass of the object (in kg)
* $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
* $h$ is the height of the object above the reference point (in meters)
$PE_1 = 5.0 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 1.0 \, \text{m} = 49 \, \text{J}$
$PE_2 = 5.0 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 1.5 \, \text{m} = 73.5 \, \text{J}$
$PE_3 = 5.0 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 2.0 \, \text{m} = 98 \, \text{J}$
Answer:
* Shelf 1: 49 J
* Shelf 2: 73.5 J
* Shelf 3: 98 J
