Answer:

23.64 m

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

Where m us the mass of snowball, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height.

Also, the weight of an object is given by W=mg hence replacing mg in the above equation with W we obtain

PE=Wh

Making h the subject of the formula then

$h=\frac {PE}{W}$

Substituting 520 J for PE and 22 N for W then

$h=\frac {520J}{22}=23.636363636363m\\h\approx$

If an astronaut throws an object in space, the object’s speed will _____

BigorU [14]

The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
$\sum F=ma$
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) $x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)
