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 sports car moving at constant speed travels 164 m in 13.77 s. If it then brakes and comes to a stop in 3.6 s. What is its acce
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a = - 0.3376 g's

Explanation:

The sports car has a constant speed when travelling. Covered 164 m in 13.77 s. Thus, speed = 164/13.77 m/s

It brakes and now comes to a stop in 3.6 s.

Thus final velocity = 0 m/s

Formula for acceleration is;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - (164/13.77))/3.6

a = -3.308 m/s²

In terms of g's", where 1.00 g = 9.80 m/s², we have;

a = -3.308/9.8 g's

a = - 0.3376 g's

George determines the mass of his evaporating dish to be 3.375 g. He adds a solid sample to the evaporating dish, and the mass o
zhannawk [14.2K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Mass of evaporating dish = 3.375 g

    Total mass = Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish

That is, Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish = 26.719 g

Therefore, we will calculate the mass of solid sample as follows.

    Mass of solid sample = (Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish) - mass of evaporating dish

                            = 26.719 g – 3.375 g

                            = 23.344 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of his solid sample must be 23.344 g.
