To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conversion of units for which we will have that 1 slug is equal to 14.59kg. At the same time we will use Newton's second law for which weight is defined as the product between mass and acceleration (Due to gravity). This is then

A: Using the conversion ratio of slug to kilogram we have to,

1 slug = 14.59kg

Then

m = 280*10^3 slugs (\frac{14.59kg}{1slug})

m = 4.09*10^6kg

B: Using Newton's second law we have to,

W = mg

W = (4.09*10^6)(9.8)

W = 40034960N\approx 4*10^7N

Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 400 m/s or a 80 kg bowling ball rolled at 6.5 m/s ?
mixer [17]
Formulae for Kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy= 1/2xmassx(velocity)^2

For comparison we need to have same units,thus we convert 10g into Kg.
10g/1000=0.01Kg

Input the value of bullet in the formulae;
Kinetic Energy= 1/2x0.01kgx(400)^2
K.E=800J

Input value of the ball:
Kinetic Energy=1/2x80kgx(6.5)^2
K.E=1690J

Which means that th Energy of the ball is more than the bullet.

HELP ME PLEASE, I'M BEING TIMED FAST
Tom [10]

Answer:

A) Energy is tranferred from Joey to the water. The temperature of the water increases.

Explanation:

At first Joey jumps and gains a height above the water level of the pool, this way has an energy potential initial, as Joey falls into the water his speed is increased that is to say its energy potential is transformed into kinetic energy, and at the moment of impact with the water, this energy kinetic is transformed into heat which is transferred to the water. Therefore the temperature increment.

Note: This is one of the reasons why space agencies are studying  spatial asteroids that are directed toward the earth, as these come with great kinetic energy, and great potential energy, if these are of a considerable size can cause catastrophic damage, even if they fall into the ocean, due to the large amount of energy which can cause the instantaneous evaporation of large amounts of water and collateral damage in other areas.

Answer:

Explanation:

Not sure what your options are but anything that says something like

"at the block surface in contact with the ramp along the line from V to Z"  is probably a good shot.
