if the distance (s) = 5m and the force (F) = 50N what is the work done (j)?
5 x 50 = 250j
if the weight (W) = 49 and the gravitational field strength (g) is on earth what is the mass?
49/9.8 = 5kg
if the gravitational potential energy (Eg) = 120, the gravitational field strength (g) is on earth and the height (h) = 150 what is the mass (m)
120/9.8 x 150 = 0.08kg
if the mass (m) = 1200 the velocity (v) = 20 what is the kinetic energy?
0.5 x 1200 x (20 x 20) = 240000j
if the spring constant (k) = 5 and the extension (e) = 0.2 what is the elastic potential energy?
0.5 x 5 x 0.04 = 0.1j
