1.47x10^5 Joules  
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So  
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.  
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

A girl pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30 n. if there are no other horizontal forces, what is the wag
olga2289 [7]
Force = mass * acceleration
F = ma

Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N;

F = ma
30 = 10a

Solving for a:
a = 3 m/s^2

The acceleration is 3 meters per second squared.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.
