Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.5}=15.02098532  m/s\approx 15 m/s

The answers is an electrical force.
Under normal conditions, atoms interact with each other via electrons that are furthest away from the nucleus. These electrons from the what is called the outer shell of the atom, electrons from the outer shell that can participate in chemical reactions are called valence electrons.

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required. 


25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m
