Answer: -7J

Explanation:

To determine the change in potential energy, use the equation ΔPE=mgΔh

Δ

PE=mg

Δ

h

, where m is the mass, g= 9.8 m/s2

g= 9.8 m/s

2

, and Δh is the change in height. Hence, we have that the potential energy PE=4.0 kg×9.8 m/s2×-2.0 m=-78 J

PE=4.0 kg

×

9.8 m/s

2

×

-2.0 m=-78 J

. To verify that this is correct, note that since the cat changes the potential energy to kinetic energy by jumping, the potential energy decreases. Hence, the potential energy should be negative.

How does gravity keep the moon in orbit around earth
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The moon's orbit draws the oceans to it, which triggers ocean tides. Force produces stars and planets by gathering the mass from which it exists.

Sledding down a hill, you are traveling at 10 m/s when you reach the bottom. You (inertia 80 kg ) then move across horizontal sn
RSB [31]

Answer:

V = 0.32 m /s

Explanation:

Momentum of the man on the sledge along with sledge

= (80+8) x 10 = 880 kg. m/s When the man jumps off the sledge , the velocity of the sledge will remain intact at 10 m/s

When the sledge hits the boulder and bounces back the momentum of the sledge - boulder system will remain conserved .

change in momentum of sledge = 8 x (10 +6 )

= 128  kg m/s

Change in the momentum of boulder

= 400 V -0

= 400V

400V = 128

V = 0.32 m /s
