Answer:

a. P.E = 3430Joules.

b. Workdone = 3430Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70kg

Distance = 5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy;

Potential energy = mgh

P.E = 70*9.8*5

P.E = 3430J

b. To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 70*9.8

Force = 686 Newton.

Workdone = 686 * 5

Workdone = 3430Nm

A car traveling at 27.4 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 65.0 kg, moves forward a distance

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

$F=43570.9N$

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration experimented by the passenger using the formula $v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad$ , taking the initial direction of movement as the positive direction and considering it comes to a rest:

$a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}=\frac{-v_i^2}{2d}$

Then we use Newton's 2nd Law to calculate the force the passenger of mass m experimented to have this acceleration:

$F=ma=\frac{-mv_i^2}{2d}$

Which for our values is:

$F=\frac{-(65kg)(27.4m/s)^2}{2(0.56m)}=43570.9N$
