Answer:2.541

Explanation:

Well , Potential Energy = mgh

m=mass = 82

g=acceleration of gravity=9.80m/s^2

h=what we are looking for

PE=mgh

PE/(mg) = h

Substitute in the values:

1970/(82 x 9.8) = h 2.541

Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circ
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement.  So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

    W_{fr} = ΔEm = Em_{f} -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

    Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

   Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

    F = - k x

    x = -F / k

    x = 4400/1100

    x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

    fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

   v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

   v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50)   2/60.0

   v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

   v = √ (229.66)

   v = 15.8 m/s

a football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s2. How much force did
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

6.216 N

Explanation:

As for Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

where F= the acting force

           m=subjected mass

           a= the acceleration

applying F=ma to the football

F=m*a

 =0.42*14.8

 =6.216 N

6.216 N of a force is supplied to the ball

A car is pushed with a force of 450 N for 19.4 seconds. What impulse was applied to the car?​
harina [27]

Answer:

impulse = 8820 kg·\frac{m}{s} or 8820 N·s

Explanation:

Impulse J is equal to the average force F_{av} multiplied by the elapsed time Δt or in equation form, J = F_{av}Δt

As long as your force of 450 N is constant then that value is your average force F_{av} and your elapsed time is 19.4 seconds.

Multiply these values.

You will get an impulse of 8820 kg·\frac{m}{s} or 8820 N·s.

The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F. If the distance is decreased by 5 what is the new
Anvisha [2.4K]

The universal law of gravitation states that:

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:

F/5² = F/25
