Mechanical Energy = PE + KE

PE: mgh = 200 x 9.8 x 18 = 35280

PE: 35280 Joules

KE: 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 x 200 x 16^2 = 25600

KE: 25600 Joules

ME: 35280 + 25600

ME: 60,880J

A force of 6.00 N acts in the positive direction on a 3.00 kg object, originally traveling at +15.0 m/s, for 10.0 s. (a) What is
frozen [14]

Answer:

60 kg m/s

Explanation:

Let a\;\; m/s^2 be the acceleration of the object.

As the acceleration of the object is constant, so

a=\frac {v-u}{t}\cdots(i)

Given that applied force, F=6.00 N,

From Newton's second law, we have

F= m\times a,

\Rightarrow F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t} [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow Ft=m(v-u)

\Rightarrow Ft=mv-mu

\Rightarrow mv-mu=6\times 10 [given that time, t=10 s and F=6 N]

\Rightarrow mv-mu=60 kg \;m/s

Here mv is the final momentum of the object and mu is the initial momentum of the object.

So, the change in the momentum of the object is mv-mu.

Hence, the change in the momentum of the object is 60 kg m/s.

How much force is needed to cause a 15 kilogram bicycle to accelerate at a rate of 10
Anarel [89]
Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)... that’s Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
Net force = (15kg) x (10 m/s squared)
Net force = 150 Newtons.

If a person pulls back a rubber band on a slingshot without letting to go of it, what type of energy will the rubber band have?
Travka [436]

Answer:

Potential energy. Releasing it, the potential energy would convert into motion, kinetic energy.

Potential energy is when an object has some sort of potential eg. for motion such as in this example.
