Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.  
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH 
V^2 = 2GH 
V = âš2GH 
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)  
V = âš 6370
 V = 79.81 m/s

PLEASE ANSWER FAST In which of the following situations is the greatest amount of work accomplished? 1. A boy lifts a 2-newton b
GuDViN [60]

Explanation:

Work done is given by the product of force and displacement.

Case 1,

1. A boy lifts a 2-newton box 0.8 meters.

W = 2 N × 0.8 m = 1.6 J

2. A boy lifts a 5-newton box 0.8 meters.

W = 5 N × 0.8 m = 4 J

3. A boy lifts a 8-newton box 0.2 meters.

W = 8 N × 0.2 m = 1.6 J

4. A boy lifts a 10-newton box 0.2 meters.

W = 10 N × 0.2 m = 2 J

Out of the four options, in option (2) ''A boy lifts a 5-newton box 0.8 meters'', the work done is 4 J. Hence, the greatest work done is 4 J.

netineya [11]
<span>You are given two cars, one in front of the other, that are traveling down the highway at 25 m/s. You are also given a frequency of 500 Hz of the car travelling behind it. You are asked what is the frequency heard by the driver of the lead car. This problem can be solved using the Doppler effect

sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(speed of sound + lead car velocity)/( speed of sound + behind car velocity)] * (sound of frequency of the behind car)
</span>sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(340 m/s + 25 m/s)/(340 m/s - 25 m/s)] * (500 Hz)
sound frequency heard by the lead car = 579 Hz

Burka [1]

Answer:

3000 newton force is required

Explanation:

F = ma

F= 1000 kgs x 3 m/s^ 2

F=3000(kgs x m/s^2)

F=3000 newton
