<span>Calculating for potential energy P.E=mgh
m=mass
g=acceleration due to gravity
h=height
</span>Let the twig's mass be M<span> 
</span><span>
therefore at the start, the twig has 200*9.8*M potential energy. 

</span>During its fall 40% twig's energy is converted into thermal energy and the remaining <span>60% of this will turn into kinetic energy during the fall, giving us 1176M
Now the equation for kinetic energy, K.E is 0.5*m*v^2
m is mass
v is velocity

Therefore 1176M=0.5*M*v^2 (mass will divide out)
velocity is </span><span>48.49 m/s</span>

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart
Ber [7]
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N
