Physics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a) an airplane in mid-flight

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is defined by

E_{potential} =m*g*h

where m is the mass of the object;

g is the gravitational acceleration;

an h is the height of the object;

For the examples, the highest value in potential energy will be for the airplane, because it has the more mass and the higher altitude by far in relation to the baseball or the bird.

Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 5.7 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Bad White [126]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s

Time taken before coin hits ground  = 5.7s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the coin  = ?

Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.

The fitting one of them here is shown below;

             V = U + gt

where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.

Now input the parameters and solve;

               V  = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7

               V = 55.917m/s

Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

15 less mins will be used by Bob

Explanation:

This is because it takes Tim 2000/50= 40mins to type the whole work

While it takes Bob 2000/80= 25 mins

So the difference 40-25= 15mins

Will be 15mins
