That depends on WHERE the rig is, because

weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity where the object is) .

-- If the truck is on Mars, then

Weight = (36,000 kg) x (3.71² m/s²) = 133,560N.

-- If the truck is on the moon, then

Weight = (36,000 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = 58,320N.

-- If the truck is on Earth, then

Weight = (36,000 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = 353,160N.

It all depends.

True or false energy is always lost in a circuit

Llana [10]

Explanation:

Electrons will gain energy as they are "pushed" from different points in the circuit. This energy is then lost when the electrons flow through circuit components such as a light bulb.

Sophie throws a tennis ball down from a height of 1.5 m at an angle of 450 with respect to vertical. She drops another tennis ba

Katena32 [7]

Given that,

Height =1.5 m

Angle = 45°

We need to find the greater speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

$P.E_{i}+K.E_{f}=P.E_{f}+K.E_{f}$

$mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2$

Here, initial velocity and final potential energy is zero.

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.5=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{f}^2$

$v_{f}^2=2\times9.8\times1.5$

$v_{f}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.5}$

$v_{f}=5.42\ m/s$

Hence, the greater speed of the ball is 5.42 m/s.
