A book weighs 0.5 kilograms on a book shelf that is 2 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the book relative

to the ground? (HINT: you may use 10 N/kg as the value for gravity)

Using the GPE=MGH, M=0.5 kg, G=9.8m/s H= 2 m multiply those all together and we will have 9.8 J (joules)

Which word describes a goal that is poorly written?

stiv31 [10]

Abstract. Abstract is defined as an idea or plan but no actions are done

to pursue the idea. When setting goals, one must be certain and it should be attainable in order

to achieve the goal being set. Goals that are abstract

are often poorly written and uncertain

A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0$

$170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0$

$v_2=-0.17\ m/s$

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
