Answer:
Explanation:
height lost h = 300 sin60
= 259.8 m .
gravitational potential energy = mgh
= 5000 x 9.8 x 259.8
= 1273 x 10⁴ J
Kinetic energy
= 1/2 mv²
= .5 x 5000 x 60²
= 900 x 10⁴ J
there is loss of kinetic energy = 373 x 10⁴ J.
This loss in energy is due to kinetic friction that came into action when the sled slipped downwards.
The lost energy is converted into heat energy or thermal energy.
Answer:
Force of gravity, F = 0.74 N
Mass of an object, m = 1.2 kg
Distance above earth's surface, 
Mass of Earth, 
Radius of Earth, 
We need to find the force of gravity above the surface of Earth. It is given by :

R = r + d
R = 25370000 m

F = 0.74 N
So, the force of gravity on the object is 0.74 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
9.8 m/s
Explanation:
The work done by the force pushing the cart is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the cart:

where
W is the work done
is the final kinetic energy of the cart
is the initial kinetic energy of the cart, which is zero because the cart starts from rest, so we can write:

But the work is equal to the product between the pushing force F and the displacement, so

So, the final kinetic energy of the cart is 480 J. The formula for the kinetic energy is
(1)
where m is the mass of the cart and v its final speed.
We can find the mass because we know the weight of the cart, 98.0 N:

Therefore, we can now re-arrange eq.(1) to find the final speed of the cart:
