Hi, does anyone know the answer for question 2 or 3? Thank you

A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational

-Dominant- [34]

Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?

Rina8888 [55]

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force. Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen. Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

<em>Force = 27 Giga-Newtons </em>(27,000,000,000 Newtons)

The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program . Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.

It would take <em>3,475 </em>of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question. If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg. So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate. And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)

a 3.2 kg durian fruit is pushed across the table.If the acceleration of the durian is 3.1 m/s/s to the right,what is the net for

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 3.2 × 3.1

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball travelling at a speed of 54 m/s?

Over [174]

Answer:

We conclude that the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Explanation:

Given

Mass m = 1.75 kg

Velocity v = 54 m/s

To determine

Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ?

We know that a body can possess energy due to its movement — Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be determined using the formula

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass (kg)

v is the velocity (m/s)

K.E is the Kinetic Energy (J)

now substituting m = 1.75, and v = 54 in the formula

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\left(1.75\right)\left(54\right)^2$

$K.E=1458\times 1.75$

$K.E=2551.5$ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a

blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force $F_c$ . In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force $f_s$ between the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:
