Given:
m = 4 kg, the mass of the object
h = 5 m, distance fallen

Neglect air resistance.

The PE (potential energy) is 
PE = mgh = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 m) = 196 J

The PE is converted into KE (kinetic energy) after the fall. 
Therefore the PE decreased by 196 J ≈ 200 J

Answer: d. It has decreased by 200 J

For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient. 

<span>m = rise/run </span>
<span>=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) </span>

<span>the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" </span>
<span>(x1,y1) = (3,53) </span>
<span>(x2,y2) = (6,62) </span>

<span>sub values back into the equation </span>
<span>m = (62-53)/(6-3) </span>
<span>m = 9/3 </span>
<span>m = 3 </span>

<span>now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form </span>
<span>y-y1 = m(x-x1) </span>
<span>where x1 and y1 are any set of point given </span>
<span>y-53 = 3(x-3) </span>
<span>y-53 = 3x - 9 </span>
<span>y = 3x - 9 + 53 </span>
<span>y = 3x + 44 </span>

<span>y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
</span>I hope this helps.

Light strikes a 5.0-cm thick sheet of glass at an angle of incidence in air of 50°. the sheet has parallel faces and the glass h
mestny [16]
<span>Answer: sin(incidence)/sin(refraction) = n_refraction/n_incidence sin(50) / sin(x) = 1.5 / 1 sin(50)/1.5 = sin(x) sin(x) = 0.511 x = 30.71o B] 50 degrees, same as the angle going in. You can show that by reversing the steps in A. sin(30.7)/sin(x) = 1/1.5 C] The glass is 5 cm thick. The reference angle = 30.7o Tan(30.7) = displacement / thickness Tan(30.7) = x / 5 5*sin(30.7) = x x = 2.97 cm which is the displacement.</span>

Water flows through a pipe of
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

9.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass is conserved.

m₁ = m₂

ρ₁ Q₁ = ρ₂ Q₂

Assuming no change in density:

Q₁ = Q₂

v₁ A₁ = v₂ A₂

v₁ π r₁² = v₂ π r₂²

v₁ r₁² = v₂ r₂²

Plugging in values:

(1.50 m/s) (0.0250 m)² = v (0.0100 m)²

v = 9.38 m/s
