A) 5 kg block of wood
B) 100 kg person
C) 412 kg motorcycle
D) 2540 kg elephant
Answer: D
I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J.
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:

And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
Answer:
compacting
Explanation:
i don't think there is very much explanation, the snow falls and compacts the ice to become giant lol
Answer:
B) 4500 Pa
Explanation:
As pressure is force per unit area,
P = F/A
It stands to reason that the smallest pressure for a given force is when it is shared by the largest area.
The possible areas are
0.30(0.40) = 0.12 m²
0.30(0.50) = 0.15 m²
0.40(0.50) = 0.20 m²
The pressure when the face with the largest area (0.20 m²) is down is
P = 900 / 0.20 = 4500 N/m² or 4500 Pa
the other possible pressures would be
900/0.15 = 6000 Pa
900/0.12 = 7500 Pa
which are both larger than our solution.
