An object is initially moving at an unknown velocity. It accelerates at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 to a new velocity of 45 m/s in 10s. What was the initial velocity?

Initial velocity=25m/s

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=2m/s^2

Final velocity(v)=45m/s

Time(t)=10seconds

Initial velocity(u)=?

V=u+axt

45=u+2x10

45=u+20

u=45-20

u=25m/s

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
