Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²


Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.

A 1280 kg car is moving 4.92 m/s. a 509 N force then pushes it forward for 28.7 m. what is its final KE?(unit=J)PLEASE HELP
laila [671]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: total energy = 30100.4 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy due to the movement of and object, its units are joules (J)

Data

mass = 1280 kg

speed = 4.92 m/s

Force = 509 N

distance = 28.7 m

Formula

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Work = Fd

Process

- Calculate Kinetic energy

- Calculate work

- Add both results

KE = \frac{1}{2} (1280)(4.92)^{2}

KE = 15492.1 J

Work = (509)(28.7)

Work = 14608.3 J

Total = 15492.1 + 14608.3

Total energy = 30100.4 J

What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017
