The maximum potential energy of the car or the when car is not moving at points A and E; option A.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy of a body due to its state or position.

In the rollercoaster motion shown, the maximum potential energy occurs when the car is no longer moving.

At different points other than at maximum potential energy, the energy is a combination of potential and kinetic energy.

The maximum potential energy occurs at A and E, at which point the car is not moving.

In conclusion, at maximum potential energy, the car is not moving.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a bridge 22.0 m high with an initial speed of 16.0 m/s. The ball falls all t

KonstantinChe [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion. We will start calculating the maximum height with the given speed, and once the total height of fall is obtained, we will proceed to calculate with the same formula and the new height, the speed of fall.

The expression to find the change in velocity and the height is,

$v_f^2-v_0^2 = -2gh$

Replacing,

$0^2-16^2 = -2(9.8)h$

$h = 13.0612m$

Thus the total height reached by the ball is

H = 22m+13.0612m

H = 35.0612m

Now calculate the velocity while dropping down from the maximum height as follows

$v_f^2-v_0^2 = 2gh$

Substituting the new height,

$v_f^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.8)(35.0612)$

$v = \sqrt{687.2}$

$v = 26.2145m/s$

You place a 0.17 kg can of soup and a 0.31 kg jar of pickles on the kitchen counter, separated by a distance of 0.42 m. What is

tangare [24]

$1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { is the force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles. }$

<u>Explanation</u>:

According to Newton's third law that each force has an equal and opposite reaction force in this case both of the jars will exert the same force an each other

. The force is given by

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where, F = force, $G=\text { gravitational constant }=\left(6.67 \times 10^{-11}\right)$ , $mass \left(\mathrm{M}_{1}\right)=0.17 \mathrm{kg}$ , $mass \left M_{2}= 0.31 \mathrm{kg}$ and Distance(r) = 0.42 m.
