<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. (PE)beginning = (KE)end

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of an object is 72.0 kg
  • Velocity of the body before it hits the ground is 79.0 m/s

We are required to determine the relationship between the potential energy and kinetic energy before the fall.

  • When an object is at the highest point, it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.
  • This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the earth's surface.
  • On the other hand, when an object attains the highest speed it has maximum kinetic energy and minimum kinetic energy.

In this case;

  • The velocity of the object when hitting the ground is maximum and thus the object will have maxim,um kinetic energy.
  • As the object falls towards the ground the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
  • Therefore, the potential energy at the beginning will be equal to the kinetic energy at the end when the object is on the ground.
  • We can therefore, conclude that, (PE)beginning = (KE)end

The kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy changes during its movement from ground to the top height.

<h3>What happens to kinetic and potential energy while motion?</h3>

When the ball moves upward, its gravitational potential energy is increases and kinetic energy begins to decrease but when the ball falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. When the ball collides with the ground, the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy.

20. Consider a model steel bridge that is 1/100 the exact scale of the real bridge that is to be built. a. If the model bridge w
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The model bridge captures all the structural attributes of the real bridge, at a reduced scale.

Part a.
Note that volume is proportional to the cube of length. Therefore the actual bridge will have 100^3 = 10^6 times the mass of the model bridge.

Because the model bridge weighs 50 N, the real bridge weighs
(50 N)*10^6 = 50 MN.

Part b.
The model bridge matches the structural characteristics of the actual bridge.
Therefore the real bridge will not sag either.

What happens to the force between the spheres when you increase the mass of one of the spheres?
andrew11 [14]

The force between the spheres increases when the mass increases in one of the spheres.

<u>Explanation:</u>

            Newton law of universal gravity extends gravity beyond the earth's surface. This gravity depends directly on the mass of both objects and is inversely proportional to square of distance between their centers.  

                   \bold{F=\frac{G \times\left(m_{1} \times m_{2}\right)}{\left(r^{2}\right)}}

          Since gravity is directly proportional to “mass of both interacting objects”, stronger objects with greater gravitational force attract. If the mass of one object increases, gravity between them also increases. For example, if an object's mass of one double, force between them also doubles.
