Suppose a 4,000-kg elephant is hoisted 20 m above Earth’s surface. Use a calculator and follow the steps below to find the elephant’s gravitational potential energy. Step 1:
Calculate the elephant’s weight
(w = mg)

Step 2:
What is the GPE of the elephant?
(GPE = w * h)

Aforce of 34n stretches a very light ideal spring 0.73 m from equilibrium, what is the force constant (spring constant) of the spring? (a) 47n/m (b) 38n/m (c) 53n/m (d) 25n/m

Aracecar driver has to hold on tightly when going around a banked curve. approximately what is the centripetal force on a 2220.0 kg car going around a circle with a diameter of 190.0 meters at 25.0 m/s?

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?
