The potential energy is most often referred to as the "energy at rest" and is dependent on the elevation of an object. This can be calculated through the equation,

     E = mgh

where E is the potential energy, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this item, we are not given with the mass of the cart so we assume it to be m. The force is therefore,

   E = m(9.8 m/s²)(0.5 m) = 4.9m

Hence, the potential energy is equal to 4.9m.

Which statement comparing the penetrating power of different types of radiation is correct?
evablogger [386]
The correct option is A.
There are three types of radiation, these are alpha, beta and gamma radiations. Alpha radiation has the lowest penetrating power and can be easily stopped by a thin sheet of paper. Beta radiation has more penetrating power than alpha radiation and can be absorbed by a few centimeter of aluminium sheet. Gamma radiation has the highest penetrating power and can only be stopped by heavy materials such as lead blocks.

a 1500 kg car traveling at 15 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is intially at rest at a spotlight. The car an
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Since the car and truck stick together, v₁ = v₂.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Given m₁ = 1500 kg, u₁ = -15 m/s, m₂ = 4500 kg, and u₂ = 0 m/s:

(1500 kg) (-15 m/s) + (4500 kg) (0 m/s) = (1500 kg + 4500 kg) v

-22500 kg m/s = 6000 kg v

v = -3.75 m/s

The final velocity is 3.75 m/s to the south.

Which of the following choices is a single-replacement reaction? A. 2K + Br2 2KBr B. 2H2 + O2 2H2O C. Mg + FeO Fe + MgO D. C + 2
Otrada [13]
A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound. In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single<span> uncombined element replaces another in a compound.

So you're answer is probably c.

A 2 kg soccer ball is traveling 28.62m/s when it hits the wall and bounces off of the wall with a velocity of 20 m/s. If the wal
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.149 s or 0.15 s

Explanation:

let initially ball is moving towards left  hence initial velocity = - 28.62 m/s

final velocity as ball moves right = +20 m/s

force  = rate of change in momentum

force  = mass × change in velocity / time

or time = mass × change in velocity / force

    time = 2× ( 20 -( -28.62)) / 652.36

    time  = 2× ( 20  +28.62)) / 652.36  

time  =   2× 48 .62/652.36

 time =  0.149 s or 0.15 s
