Answer:

1.56 J

Explanation:

The potential energy only depends on the vertical height from the ground level.

We consider the ground level to have zero P.E.

So when it is 2 m above the ground level,

P.E. =  mgh

      = 0.078×10×2

      = 1.56 J

The solid has a mass of 180 g. What is the density of the solid? Show your work. Be sure to use correct units of measurement. HE
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1.2 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of solid = 180 g

Length (L) of solid = 10 cm

Width (W) of solid = 5 cm

Height (H) of solid = 3 cm

Density of solid =?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Length (L) of solid = 10 cm

Width (W) of solid = 5 cm

Height (H) of solid = 3 cm

Volume (V) of solid =?

V = L× W × H

V = 10 × 5 × 3

V = 150 cm³

Finally, we shall determine the density of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solid = 180 g

Volume of solid = 150 cm³

Density of solid =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 180 g / 150 cm³

Density of solid = 1.2 g/cm³

PLEASEEEE HEEEEELP!!!!!
8090 [49]

Answer:

Before:

p_{truck}=16400\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=10000\ kg.m/s

After:

p_{truck}=8000\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=8400\ kg.m/s

v_{fcar}=8.4\ m/s

F=9333.33 \ Nw

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum</u>

Two objects of masses m1 and m2 moving at speeds v1o and v2o respectively have a total momentum of

p_1=m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o}

After the collision, they have speeds of v1f and v2f and the total momentum is

p_2=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

Impulse J is defined as

J=F.t

Where F is the average impact force and t is the time it lasted

Also, the impulse is equal to the change of momentum

J=\Delta p

As the total momentum is conserved:

p_1=p_2

m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o}=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

We can compute the speed of the second object by solving the above equation for v2f

\displaystyle v_{2f}=\frac{ m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o} -m_1v_{1f} }{  m_2 }

The given data is

m_1=2000\ kg

m_2=1000\ kg\\v_{1o}=8.2\ m/s\\v_{2o}=0\ m/s\\v_{1f}=4\ m/s

a) The impulse will be computed at the very end of the answer

b) Before the collision

p_{truck}=2000\cdot 8.2=16400\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=1000\cdot 0=0\ kg.m/s

c) After collision

p_{truck}=2000\cdot 4=8000\ kg.m/s

Compute the car's speed:

\displaystyle v_{2f}=\frac{ 16400+0 -8000 }{ 1000 }

v_{2f}=8.4\ m/s

And the car's momentum is

p_{car}=1000\cdot 8.4=8400\ kg.m/s

The Impulse J of the system is zero because the total momentum is conserved, i.e. \Delta p=0.

We can compute the impulse for each object

J_1=\Delta p_1=2000(4-8.2)=-8400 \N.s

The force can be computed as

\displaystyle F=\frac{J}{t}=-\frac{8400}{0.9}=-9333.33 \ Nw

The force on the car has the same magnitude and opposite sign

A football player throws and accelerates a ball (m = 0.150 kg) from rest to a velocity of 50 m/s in 0.0121 sec. Determine the ac
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Acceleration=4m/s²

Force applied =619.8N

Explanation:

Using equation of motion

V=u+at we have: u=o, v=50m/s

50= 0 + a×0.0121

a = 50/0.0121

a= 4m/s²

Neglecting resistance forces

F= ma, where a = v-u/t

F=m×(v-u)/t

F= 0.150 ×(50-0)/0.0121

F=7.5/0.0121

F= 619.8N

If an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station, she will quickly float away from the station unless she has a te
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

d. This statement is false. She and the Space Station share the same orbit and will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

Explanation:

In astronomy, orbit is simply a path of an object around another object in a space. That is, orbit is a path of a body that revolves around a gravitating center of mass. Examples of an orbit is are satellite around a planet, orbit around a center of galaxy, planet around the sun, and among others.

On the other hand, space station refers to a spacecraft that can support a group of human for long time in the orbit. Another names for space stations are orbital space station and orbital station.

Therefore, an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station shares the same orbit with the space station and they will stay together unless they are pushed apart.
