The gravitational potential energy is 2526 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field. Near the Earth's surface, it can be calculated as

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

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

h is the height of the object

In this problem, we have

m = 84.8 kg

h = 3.04 m

Substituting,

$GPE=(84.8)(9.8)(3.04)=2526 J$

A motorcycle is moving at 30 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the motorcycle a constant deceleration. During the 3.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the distance that the motorcycle travelled we first need to obtain the acceleration rate that was used to brake the vehicle. We do that by using the following formula:

a = (V_final - V_initial)/(t) = (15 - 30)/(3.1) = -4.84 m/s^2

The distance is given by the following formula:

S = (V_final^2 - V_initial^2)/(2*a)

S = (15^2 - 30^2)/[2*(-4.84)] = (225 - 900)/(-9.68) = -675/(-9.68) = 69.73 m

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.
