Answer:
100 J
Explanation:
The potential energy is given by the formula ...
PE = mgh
= (2 kg)(10 m/s^2)(5 m) = 100 J
A mercury filled balloon would fall faster then water. Mercury is heavier.
Answer:
s = 3 m
Explanation:
Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.
Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.
the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are
s = vt = 40(t + 2) cm
s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm
they pass when their distance is the same
½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)
10t² = 40t + 80
0 = 10t² - 40t - 80
0 = t² - 4t - 8
t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)
t = (4± 6.928) / 2 ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.
t = 5.464 s
s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm
300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.
Answer:
It is equal to the overall momentum before collision, so far no external object is involved.
Explanation:
Momentum is always conserved during collision as a rule. This is equal to the product of the mass and velocity. Thank you.
