Ababy carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. the carriage with the baby has a mass of 4kg. the carriage has —— energy. calculate it.

E=252J

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

E mech=K+U

Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Ug=mgh

Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

W=→Fg=mg

We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.

Ug=12N⋅21m

⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Hope it helped, God bless you!

volts times amps 6 x 0.5 3w

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
