Answer:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

How much force is required to accelerate a 800kg car by 15 m/s2

Tom [10]

Answer:

force=12000

Explanation:

F=m*a aka force equals mass times acceleration so 800*15=12000

A ball is falling after rolling off a tall roof. The ball has

Rom4ik [11]

C.
Because it’s falling it has acceleration in the y direction. If you have acceleration, you usually also have velocity, and since kinetic energy is KE= Mv^2 you know you have it. It also has potential energy because it has some height to it, and PE= Mgh.

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

$v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)$

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, $v$ , is $\frac 12 m v^2$

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is $mgh$ [where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)$

and the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii)$ .

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, $\frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2$

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.
