gravitational Potential energy is given by

$GPE = mgh$

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

$GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)$

$GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J$

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t

baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return , it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

What should be angle between force and displacement to get the maximum work

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

0°

Explanation:

The angle between force and displacement should be 0° in order to get the maximum work done.

Work done = Force x dcosФ°

Ф is the angle between force and displacement

When Ф is zero, the maximum work done is attained

When Ф is 90, the minimum work is done, in fact, work done is 0

Many Amtrak trains can travel at a top speed of 42.0 m/s. Assuming a train maintains that speed for several hours, how many kilo

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

605 km

Explanation:

Hello

the same units of measure should be used, then

Step 1

convert 42 m/s ⇒ km/h

1 km =1000 m

1 h = 36000 sec

$42 \frac{m}{s}*\frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}=0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\ 0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\$

$0.042\ \frac{km}{s}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h} =151.2 \frac{km}{h}\\ \\Velocity =151.2\ \frac{km}{h}$

Step 2

find kilometers traveled after 4 hours

$V=\frac{s}{t}\\ \\$

V,velocity

s, distance traveled

t. time

now, isolating s

$V=\frac{s}{t} \\s=V * t\\$

and replacing

$s=V * t\\s=151.2\frac{km}{h}*4 hours\\ s=604.8 km\\$

S=604.8 Km

Have a great day
