IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)
= 29.4 kg-m²/s² = 29.4 joules .
Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum 
must be equal to the final momentum 
, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:
Before the collision:
(1)
After the collision:
(2)
Where:
is the mass of the car
is the velocity of the car, directed to the north
is the mass of the truck
is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south
is the final velocity of both the car and the truck
(3)
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
Finally:
The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south
Answer:
Catapult on the ground: Normal, gravity
Catapult (I'm assuming launching marshmallow): Reaction of Force Applied
Marshmallow: Force Applied
Explanation:
This is the forces that act on a stationary object and a launched object. The catapult may also experience a force friction if your teacher is taking a more practical sense.
<span>the ratio of the velocity of light in the medium over the velocity of light in a vacuum</span>
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.
The cart's acceleration is
(0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)
= ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²) = -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .
Newton's second law of motion says
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
For this cart: Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)
= ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)
<span> = </span>- 10 newtons .
<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>
