The correct answer is Point A the top

Point A (top)

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its height relative to a reference level. so greater the height above the reference level, greater will be the potential energy.

when the boy is at the top, the height is maximum there. hence the potential energy of the boy is maximum at the Top.

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

15 points! An atomic nucleus initially moving at 420 m/s emits an alpha particle in the direction of its velocity, and the remai
alexandr1967 [171]

The alpha particle is emitted at 4235 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem: the total momentum of the original nucleus must be equal to the total momentum after the alpha particle has been emitted. Therefore:

p_i = p_f\\ Mu=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 =  

where:  

M =222u is the mass of the original nucleus

v=420 m/s is the initial velocity of the nucleus

m_1 = 4 u is the mass of the alpha particle

v_1 is the final velocity of the alpha particle

m_2 = 222u-4u = 218 u is the mass of the daughter nucleus

v_2 = 350 m/s is the final velocity of the nucleus

Solving for v_1, we  find the final velocity of the alpha particle:

v_1 = \frac{Mu-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(222)(420)-(218)(350)}{4}=4235 m/s

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has
charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum
