<h2>Answer: False</h2>

Explanation:

This sentence is the description of the mechanical energy.

In this sense, the mechanical energy of a body or a system is that which is obtained from the speed of its movement (kinetic energy) or its specific position (potential energy), in order to produce a mechanical work.

That is to say: The mechanical energy involves both the kinetic energy and the potential energy (which can be elastic or gravitational, for example).

In addition, it should be noted that mechanical energy is<u> conserved in conservative fields and is a scalar magnitude.</u>

Therefore:

<h2>The sum of potential and kinetic energies in the particles of a substance is called <u>Mechanical Energy</u></h2>

hello friends,i need your help my home work now in physics,topic:motion.40 marks +brainliest if correct .

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position is given by

df = do + vo t - 1/2 a t^2 df = final position = 0 (on the ground)

do =original position = 2 m

vo = original <u>VERTICAL</u> velocity = 0

a = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

THIS BECOMES

0 = 2 + 0 * t - 1/2 ( 9.81)t^2

to show t =<u> .639 seconds to hit the ground </u>

During this .639 seconds it flies horizontally at 10 m/s for a distance of

10 m/s * .639 s =<u> 6.39 m </u>

A car of mass 2400kg moving at 20 m/s slams into a cement wall and comes to a halt?

Brut [27]

Impulse = change in momentum

The car's momentum was (mass) x (speed)

Momentum = (2400 kg) x (20 m/s)

Momentum = 48,000 km-m/s

To completely stop the car, the impulse = -48,000 km-m/s .

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.
