Fed [463]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

PE= m * g *h

work:

PE= 65kg * 9.8 kg *8,800 m

PE=5605600 m/kg

idk the actual units i forgot

You skip north for 12 minutes to your best friend's house that is 1.5 kilometers away. What is your average velocity?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

Guys please help me out I’ll give extra points

zvonat [6]

Answer: h = 3.34 m

Explanation:

If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy

PE = mgh

h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m

Two 30 uC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 9 m. A third point is located at 27 m. What is the poten

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

25000 V

Explanation:

The formula for potential is

V = Kq/r

Potential at B due to the charge placed at origin O

V1 = K q / OB

$V_{1}= \frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 30 \times 10^{-6}}{27}$

V1 = 10000 V

Potential at B due to the charge placed at A

V2 = K q / AB

$V_{2}= \frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 30 \times 10^{-6}}{18}$

V2 = 15000 V

Total potential at B

V = V1 + V2 = 10000 + 15000 = 25000 V

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Part a)

$f = \frac{8}{9}$

Part b)

$f = \frac{120}{169}$

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

Explanation:

Part a)

Let say the collision between Moose and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 500 v_{2f}$

also by elastic collision condition we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o$

now we have

$2v_o = 2v_{1f} + v_o + v_{1f}$

now we have

$v_{1f} = \frac{v_o}{3}$

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)$

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{v_o^2}{9})$

so fractional loss in energy is given as

$f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}$

$f = \frac{\frac{4}{9}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}$

$f = \frac{8}{9}$

Part b)

Let say the collision between Camel and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 300 v_{2f}$

also by elastic collision condition we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o$

now we have

$10v_o = 10v_{1f} + 3(v_o + v_{1f})$

now we have

$v_{1f} = \frac{7v_o}{13}$

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)$

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{49v_o^2}{169})$

so fractional loss in energy is given as

$f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}$

$f = \frac{\frac{60}{169}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}$

$f = \frac{120}{169}$

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass
