The mechanical energy of the given flying object is 10,340 MJ. So the correct choice is 10,340 MJ.

Mechanical energy: The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy.

The formula for the mechanical energy E is:

E=K+U

where K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by an object due to the motion.

The kinetic energy is given by the formula,

K=(1/2)*(mv^2)

where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

Potential energy: The energy possessed by an object due to its relative position from a given point.

The potential energy is given by the formula,

U=m*g*h

where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the object from the ground.

Substitute K=(1/2)*(mv^2) and U=m*g*h in the formula of the mechanical energy to get the following formula,

E=(1/2)*(mv^2)+m*g*h

Given that m=80000 kg, h=10 km, and v=900 km/h, and the value of g is 9.8 m/s^(-2), the value of the total mechanical energy is,

E=(1/2)*(80,000 kg)(900 km/h )^2+(80,000 kg)*(9.8 m/s^(-2))*(10 km)

Note: 1 km= 1000 m and 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s. 1 MJ = 10^(6) J

E=(1/2)*(80,000 kg)*(900*(5/18) m/s )^2+(80000 kg)*(9.8 m/s^(-2))*(10000 m)

E=(1/2)*(80,000 kg)*(250 m/s)^2+7840*10^(6) J

E=2500*10^(6) J+7840*10^(6) J

E=10340*10^(6) J

E=10340 MJ

Vesna [10]

Work is the amount of energy transferred

Explanation:

In physics, work is a measure of the energy transfer occurring in a process. Typically, we talk about work when energy is converted from one form into another.

For instance, work is done when a force is applied on an object. The work done on the object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

We notice the following:

  • No work is done when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (cos 90^{\circ}=0)
  • The work is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement

Whenever work is done, there is also an energy transfer taking place. For instance, in the previous example, when the force is applied to the object, the object will accelerate (assume there is no friction), and will gain kinetic energy: therefore, there is a transfer of energy to the object.

Bolt starts the race not moving, but then increased his speed until he reaches a top speed. Once Bolt reaches his top speed he m
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

<u>In order to maintain speed, a moving object or person must move at a constant velocity</u>. Accelerating will increase the speed while decelerating will reduce the speed.

Hence, for Bolt to be able to maintain the top speed for a few seconds, he needs to move at a constant velocity.

The correct option is a.

A branch falls from a tree how fast is the branch moving after drug .28 seconds
alexdok [17]
Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s
