M₁V₁ = m₂V₂ 
<span>KE = ½mV² </span>
<span>½m₁V₁² = 2*½m₂V₂² </span>

<span>m₁V₁ = m₂V₂ </span>
<span>½m₁V₁² = m₂V₂² </span>

<span>m₁/m₂ = V₂/V₁ </span>

<span>m₁/m₂ = 2V₂²/V₁² </span>
<span>V₂/V₁ = √(½m₁/m₂) </span>


<span>m₁/m₂ = √(½m₁/m₂) </span>
<span>squaring</span>
<span>(m₁/m₂)² = ½m₁/m₂ </span>

<span>2m₂m₁² = m₁m₂² </span>
<span>divide by m₁m₂ </span>
<span>2m₁ = m₂ </span>
<span>m₂/m₁ = 2 
hope this helps</span>

The famous scientist Galileo Galilei did several experiments with sloping planes, which he rolled metal balls down so that he co
KatRina [158]
Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5.0Kg book that is moved to three different shelves on a bookcase. The height of e
rjkz [21]
Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)

so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J

Raising 100 grams of water from 40 to 60 °C (the specific heat capacity of water is 1
ANTONII [103]
C. 2000 calories.

Explanation/calculation:

Specific heat capacity = calories / mass * (final temperature - initial temperature)

1 = calories / 100 * (60 - 40)
1 = calories / 100 * 20
1 * (100 * 20) = calories
1 * 2000 = calories
2000 = calories
