Ok so this is simple projectile motion problem.

if we have an object falling in free fall it is subject to gravity of -9.80m/s^2

so it says it takes 6 sec to fall and we know initial velocity was zero so we know that h=vt+1/2gt^2 so we get h=0+1/2*9.80*6^2 = 176.4m 

so solving for final speed we get KE=PE = 1/2mv^2=mgh = 1/2v^2=gh so 
v=sqrt(2*g*h) = sqrt(2*9.8*176.4m) = 58.8m/s final speed when it hits the ground


hope this helps you! Thanks!!

Read through the scenarios below and calculate the predicted change in kinetic energy of the object compared to a 100 kg ball tr
sashaice [31]

Okay, first off, the formula for Kinetic Energy is:

<em>KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2</em>

<em>m = mass</em>

<em>v = velcoity (m/s)</em>


Using this formula, we can then calculate the kinetic energy in each scenario:

1) KE = 1/2(100)(5)^2 = 1,250 J

2) KE = 1/2(1000)(5)^2 = 12,500 J

3) KE = 1/2(10)(5)^2 = 125 J

4) KE = 1/2(100)(5)^2 = 1,250 J

A 14,700 N car is traveling at 25 m/s. The brakes are applied suddenly, and the car slides to a stop. The average braking force
Vlada [557]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

vo = 25 m/sec 
<span>vf = 0 m/sec </span>
<span>Fμ = 7100 N (Force due to friction) </span>
<span>Fg = 14700 N </span>
<span>With the force due to gravity, you can find the mass of the car: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>14700 N = m (9.8 m/sec²) </span>
<span>m = 1500 kg </span>
<span>Now, we can use the equation again to find the deacceleration due to friction: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>7100 N = (1500 kg) a </span>
<span>a = 4.73333333333 m/sec² </span>
<span>And now, we can use a velocity formula to find the distance traveled: </span>
<span>vf² = vo² + 2a∆d </span>
<span>0 = (25 m/sec)² + 2 (-4.73333333333 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>0 = 625 m²/sec² + (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>-625 m²/sec² = (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>∆d = 66.0211267605634 m </span>
<span>∆d = 66.02 m</span>
