A 10 kg remote control plane is flying at a height of 111 m. How much
potential energy does it have?
Answer:
10.88kJ
Explanation:
Given data
mass= 10kg
heigth= 111m
Applying
PE= mgh
assume g= 9.81m/s^2
substitute
PE= 10*9.81*111
PE=10889.1 Joules
PE=10.881kJ
Hence the potential energy is 10.88kJ
You perform nine (identical) measurements of the acceleration of gravity (units of m/s2): 10.1, 9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.69, 9.83, and 9.90. The true value is 9.81. Calculate the mean value of your results to three significant digits. ________
Answer: The mean value = 9.85m/s².
Explanation:
Mean = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Sum of n observations}}{n}[/tex]
The given measurements the acceleration of gravity (units of m/s²): 10.1, 9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.69, 9.83, and 9.90.
Number of measurements =9
Sum of measurements = 88.69
Mean = [tex]\dfrac{88.69}{9}=9.85444444\approx9.85[/tex]
Hence, the mean value = 9.85m/s².
