I hope I'm not too late.

GPE = mass * gravity * height

GPE = 2 kg * 9.8 m/s * 10

GPE = 196 Joules

Why heat capacity for polymer higher than metal?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material.

Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.

elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

$v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph$

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

$v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph$

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

A car has the velocity of 2.35 after 4.67 it's velocity is 9.89 what is the average acceleration

kiruha [24]

Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

=  (9.89 miles/hour) - (2.35 yards/second) = 26,839.2 ft/hr

Acceleration = (26,839.2 ft/hr) / (4.67 days) = 2,873.58 inch/hour²

Find the change in kinetic energy of a 1.0 kg fish leaping to the right at 12.0 m/s.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of fish = 1kg

Velocity = 12m/s

Unknown:

Change in kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is mathematically given as:

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 1 x 12 = 6J

The change in kinetic energy is 6J

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh. It slows down as it rolls. That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way. That takes energy. To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy. When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.
