Question

11a. In the system below, the boulder has a mass of 10,000 grams What is it's mass in kilograms?10,000 grams Calculate the "Force" of the boulder. Show your work )E kg c. According to Aristotle, what would be needed to cause the boulder to begin to roll down the slope? d. According to Newton, what would have to happen to cause the boulder to begin to roll down the slope? 1,000 meters height 11b. The unit typically used for Force is also known as a "Newton" after Newton. A Newton is 1kgm/s. So, what is the Force you calculated above in Newtons? 11c. The boulder has stored gravitational potential energy (PE), which is stored energy that the system is able to use if the boulder is forced into motion. This energy is the energy the system has to do Work. If Work a force through a distance, what is the amount of Work that the boulder has the potential to do if the boulder begins to roll downslope? Work Force x distance Nm? 1Nm- #1 Joule-Energy or Work

Explanation / Answer

11 a) mass in kg = 10 kg

b) force= mg = 10 (9.8) = 98

b) 98 N

work don e= chaneg in gravtational potentila energy = mgh = 10(9.8) (1000) =98000 J or Nm

As per newton,the boulder will only move when an external force is applied over it
