100 J of kinetic energy but no gravitational potential energy if GPE of the ground is assumed to be zero.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Kinetic Energy

The ball carries kinetic energy for being in motion. The size of that energy is given as:

\text{KE} = \dfrac{1}{2}\; m\cdot v^{2}

where

  • m is the mass of the object, and
  • v is its speed.

SI units:

  • \text{KE}: joules.
  • m: kilograms.
  • v: meters per second.

For this ball:

\text{KE} = \dfrac{1}{2}\; m\cdot v^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2\times 10^{2} = 100 \; \text{J}.

Gravitational Potential Energy

Whether the ball carries gravitational potential energy depends on the point of zero potential energy. The ball would carry GPE if the point of zero potential energy is chosen underground. However, the question emphasizes that the ball is "on the ground," which <em>implies</em> that the ground is the reference with a GPE of zero.

The gravitational field near the Earth's surface is constant. As a result, GPE is proportional to height relative to the ground (or the point of zero GPE). The ball is on the ground. Its height is zero. As a result, its GPE is also zero.

How does the ocean influence climate?
Mazyrski [523]
<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.</span>

Gravity on the moon is about 1/6 th the gravity felt on the earth. This is because A) the moon is so far away from the earth. B)
ankoles [38]
<span>So we want to know why is there a difference between the force of gravity on the Moon and the force of gravity of the Earth. So the gravitational force between two objects depends on the masses of both objects. That can be seen from Newtons universal law of gravity. F=G*m1*m2*(1/r^2). So lets say we are holding an object of mass m=1kg on a height r=1m on the Moon and we are holding the same object on the Earth also on the same height of r=1m. The Gravitational force on the Earth will be Fg=G*M*m*(r^2) where M is the mass of the Earth. The force between the moon and that object will be Fg=G*n*m*(r^2), where n is the mass of the moon. Since mass of the Moon is much smaller than mass of the Earth, The gravitational force between the Moon and that body will be almost 6 times smaller than the gravitational force between the Earth and that body. So the correct answer is B. </span>

A Jeep Rubicon has a mass of 2,630 kg. With a momentum of 55,200 kg m/s. What was the speed, in m/s, of the vehicle?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The speed of the vehicle was 21 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as mass in motion

Momentum depends on the variables mass and velocity

The momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the

velocity of the object

The given is:

→ A Jeep Rubicon has a mass of 2,630 kg

→ With a momentum of 55,200 kg m/s

We need to find the speed of the vehicle

→ The momentum = mass × speed

Substitute the values above in the rule

→ 55,200 = 2,630 × speed

Divide both sides by 2,630

→ speed = 20.99 ≅ 21 m/s

<em>The speed of the vehicle was 21 m/s</em>
