A. 0.5kg
To get this answer you need to follow the equation of KE=0.5*mv^2
But we don't have the m part in the equation. So just plug in the numbers to see which works best, though I can tell you before we do that the answer would be a.
As you may know, gravity, is a force of 9.8 m/s. And we want to get 9.8 Joules. So if we take a half a kg stone, release it at one meter, we get half of the normal gravity pull, 4.90 Joules. That means if we take half a kg stone and drop it at a doubled height, we get 9.8 Joules.
That is also to say that if we have a 1kg stone and drop it at one meter you will get the normal pull of gravity in Joules, 9.8J.
Be careful though, this does not mean if you drop a 1kg stone and a .5 kg stone the 1kg will hit first. This simply means that the 1kg stone will have twice the Joules that the .5kg stone has.
Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?
There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential. Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
Answer:
0.686 g of ice melts each second.
Solution:
As per the question:
Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 
Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m
Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 
Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

where
= temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.
Thus

Now,
To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

where
= Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

Answer:
a) v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s (→)
b) v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s (→)
Explanation:
a) Given
m₁ = 0.5 Kg
L = 70 cm = 0.7 m
v₁in = 0 m/s ⇒ Kin = 0 J
v₁fin = ?
h<em>in </em>= L = 0.7 m
h<em>fin </em>= 0 m ⇒ U<em>fin</em> = 0 J
The speed of the ball before the collision can be obtained as follows
Einitial = Efinal
⇒ Kin + Uin = Kfin + Ufin
⇒ 0 + m*g*h<em>in</em> = 0.5*m*v₁fin² + 0
⇒ v₁fin = √(2*g*h<em>in</em>) = √(2*(9.81 m/s²)*(0.70 m))
⇒ v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s (→)
b) Given
m₁ = 0.5 Kg
m₂ = 3.0 Kg
v₁ = 3.7059 m/s (→)
v₂ = 0 m/s
v₂fin = ?
The speed of the block just after the collision can be obtained using the equation
v₂fin = 2*m₁*v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)
⇒ v₂fin = (2*0.5 Kg*3.7059 m/s) / (0.5 Kg + 3.0 Kg)
⇒ v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s (→)
