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

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Given speed = 127 m/s .

distance = 1.58 m

time = ?

Putting the values in the formula

127 m/s = 1.58 m / time

time = 1.58 / 127 s

= 12.44 ms .

you travel 4.0km east, 4.0km north, then 5.0km at 53.1 degrees north of west in a total of 5 hours. What is the magnitude and di
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall convert all the displacement in vector form .

i and j represents east and north respectively .

D₁ = 4 i

D₂ = 4 j

D₃ = - 5 cos 53.1 i + 5 sin 53.1 j

= -3i + 4 j

Total displacement = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= 4i + 4 j - 3i + 4 j

= i + 8j

magnitude of displacement = √( 1² + 8² )

= 8.06 km

velocity = 8.06 / 5

= 1.61 km / h

Direction from x axis in anticlockwise direction .

Tanθ =  8 / 1 = 8

θ = 83° north of east .

a kid is on a skate board going 14kph and trows a set of keys on the ground at 8kph. the spped of the keys relitive to the gound
Vanyuwa [196]
To determine the speed relative to the ground, since the ground is our reference frame, it would be v = 0, for the kid on the skateboard, you would need to take into account the speed that he/she is going and the speed of the keys thrown at.

I believe.
