Answer:

.D)The Vector sum of the linear momenta of the fragments must be zero.

Explanation:

.D)The Vector sum of the linear momenta of the fragments must be zero.

This statement is true. This is so because no external force is acting on the masses. The motion is created by internal force so momentum of fragments will be conserved.

A) this statement is false because kinetic energy was zero in the beginning ( the bomb was stationary in the beginning )

B ) This statement is false because it violates the law of conservation of momentum .( it does not violates only when all the fragments have equal mass )

C ) This statement is zero because kinetic energy is not a vector quantity so two kinetic energy when added can not sum up to zero.

and the Potential energy U.

Final Potential energy Uf =0 , And the Initial Potential Energy Ui =m*g*h

<span>Now we will write the equation for a Change in Potential energy ΔU,</span>

ΔU = Uf - Ui

= 0-m*g*h

<span>  ΔU = -m*g*h --Equation 2</span>

Now compare the both equation

<span>Wint = -ΔU</span>

we can rewrite the above equation

ΔU = -W.

<span>So our Answer is ΔU = -W. .</span>

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

Which dog has the most kinetic energy
Blababa [14]
The formula to find the kinetic energy is:

Ek= 1/2 × m × v^2

1. Ek= 1/2×15×3^2
= 67.5 J

2.Ek= 1/2×8×4^2
=64 J

3.Ek= 1/2×12×5^2
= 150 J

4.Ek= 1/2×10×6^2
= 180 J

So the fourth dog has the most kinetic energy.
