A child of mass m = 16 kg slides down a slide of height h = 2.7 m without friction. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. a)Write an expression for the child's total mechanical energy, E, at the top of the slide, in terms of the variables in the problem and the acceleration due to gravity g. b)Calculate the change in the child's potential energy, ΔU in joules, from the top to the bottom of the slide at ground level (i.e. ΔU = Uground - Utop). c)What is the child's final speed, vf in m/s?
You are meeting your friends at a 49er football game. You start near the top of the seating area (8.9 m above the field) and walk down the steps to where your friends are sitting (3.4 m above the field). Assume that your mass is 60 kg. What is the change in your gravitational potential energy as you walk down the steps? Give your answer in J and report your answer to 1 decimal place. Make sure you include the sign if that is important for your answer.
Hi there!! My question is bolded below :) It is a multiple choice question, so I have also listed every possible answer. A person with a mass of 42kg starts from rest at position A, as shown, and then slides down to positions B, C, and D. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the person at A. 412 J 672 J 4.2 kJ 6.6 kJ Thanks!
A 10 kg barbell is rolling down a hill. There is no friction or air resistance acting on it, only the force of gravity. If it starts out moving 2 ms1, and ends up moving 7 ms1, then how much work does gravity do on it?
A 10-g bullet is travelling 60 m/s when it is shot straight upward. It reaches a maximum height of 150 m. What is the change in kinetic energy of the bullet? Using you answer to (a) and the work-kinetic energy theorem, what is the average force on the bullet during its ascent? Is the force of air resistance present in this problem? Show how you know.
I need help with this problem and an explanation for the solution described below. (University Physics 1: Work, Energy)

A hiker of mass 73 kg is going to climb to the top of Mount Tam, which has an elevation of 2,574 ft. a) If the hiker starts climbing at an elevation of 545 ft, what will their change in gravitational potential energy be, in joules, once they reach the top? Assume the zero of gravitational potential energy is at sea level. b) Repeat the above calculation for the change in gravitational potential energy, but assume the gravitational potential is zero at the top of the mountain.
1.) A book of mass 0.55kg is lifted from the floor to a height of 3.5m at a constant velocity. Recall the definition of work. How much work is done by FLift? By Fg? By Fnet? How much gravitational PE does the book have at the top relative to the floor? 2.)If the object in Q1 is released from rest after it is lifted, what is its kinetic energy just before it hits the floor? What is its speed?
