We are given:

m1 = 300 grams
m2 = 500 grams
h1 = h2 = 2 meters

We have to determine the potential energy of both toy cars:

PE = mgh
PE1 = m1gh1
PE1 = 300 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE1 = 5.886 Joules

PE2 = m2gh2
PE2 = 500 grams/1000g/kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2 meters
PE2 = 9.81 Joules

PE2 - PE1 / PE2

9.81 - 5.886 Joules / 9.81 joules * 100 = 40.0%

Therefore, the 500-gram car is greater by 40% in terms of potential energy than the 300-gram car. This is because mass is directly proportional to the potential energy of an object.

Answer:

66.67% of 500 g Potential energy is greater than that of 300 g of Potential energy.

Explanation:

Height of 300 g mass=h_{1}= 2 m

Height of 500 g mass=h_{2}=2 m

h_{1}=h_{2}

and also gravity remains constant

hence

% of potential energy of 500 g greater than of 300 g=((500-300)/300)*100

% of potential energy greater=(2/3)*100

% of potential energy greater=66.67%

Consider a 100 g object dropped from a height of 1 m. Assuming no air friction (drag), when will the object hit the ground and a
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

speed and time are Vf = 4.43 m/s and  t = 0.45 s

Explanation:

This is a problem of free fall, we have the equations of kinematics

      Vf² = Vo² + 2g x

As the object is released the initial velocity is zero, let's look at the final velocity with the equation

      Vf = √( 2 g X)

      Vf = √(2 9.8  1)

      Vf = 4.43 m/s

This is the speed with which it reaches the ground

 

Having the final speed we can find the time

      Vf = Vo + g t

       t = Vf / g

       t = 4.43 / 9.8

       t = 0.45 s

This is the time of fall of the body to touch the ground

Leni [432]
<span>Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:

d = v0t + at^2/2

We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,

d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

[Assuming that you've written 3.40 kg in 'a', and not 3.90 kg]

(a) 3,400 g x <u>0.001</u> = 3.40 kg [converting grams to kilograms]

(b) 220 cm x <u>0.01</u> = <u>2.2</u> m [converting centimeters to meters]

(c) 9.42 kg x <u>1000</u> = <u>9420</u> g [converting kilograms to grams]

(d) 6.53 m x <u>100</u> = <u>653</u> cm [converting meters to centimeters]
