Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

Ep = m · g · h Assuming that the acceleration is g = 10m/s²

Ep = 45.4 · 10 · 21.9 = 9,942.6 J

You push a 85 kg shopping cart from rest with a net force of 250 n for 5 seconds,at which point it flies off a cliff that is 100

Vikki [24]

m = mass of the cart = 85 kg

F = net force on the cart = 250 N

a = acceleration of the cart

acceleration of the cart is given as

a = F/m

a = 250/85

a = 2.94 m/s²

t = time for which the force is applied = 5 sec

v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the cart just before it flies off the cliff = ?

using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

v = 0 + (2.94) (5)

v = 14.7 m/s

consider the motion of cart after it flies off the cliff in vertical direction :

v' = initial velocity in vertical direction = 0 m/s

a' = acceleration in vertical direction = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t' = time taken for the cart to land = ?

Y' = vertical displacement of the cart = height of cliff = 100 m

using the kinematics equation

Y' = v' t' + (0.5) a' t'²

100 = (0) t' + (0.5) (9.8) t'²

t' = 4.52 sec

consider the motion of cart along the horizontal direction after it flies off the cliff

X = distance traveled from the base of cliff = ?

t' = time of travel = 4.52 sec

v = velocity along the horizontal direction = 14.7 m/s

distance traveled from the base of cliff is given as

X = v t'

X = 14.7 x 4.52

X = 66.4 m

A piece of toast weighing 8 grams is flying through the air at 15

Ket [755]

The kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy is the way to determine the energy released when an object is in motion. In other times, it can be the energy required to move any object and to make it in motion.

As the mass of the toast is given as 8 g and speed is given as 15 m/s, if we ignore the friction caused by air molecules. Then the kinetic energy is the product of mass and square of velocity.

K.E. = $\frac{1}{2}$ × mass × v²
