Answer:

C. 21 Joules

Explanation:

We apply the formula to calculate the potential energy (Ep):

Ep=m*g*h

Where:

Ep : potential energy in Joules (J)

m :mass in kilograms (kg)

g  acceleration due to gravity  (m/s²)

h: height in meters (m)

Calculation of the height (h)

Ep = m*g*h

7 = (1.5 )*(9.8) *(h )

7 = (14.7) (h )

h = 7 /  (14.7)

h= 0.476 m

Gravitational potential energy of the second object

Ep = m*g*h

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = 21 J

Un autocar que circula a 81 km/h frena uniformemente con una aceleración de -4,5 m/s2.
horsena [70]

Answer:

a) \Delta x=56.25 m

b) imagen adjunta

Explanation:

a) Primero debemos hacer la conversión de 81 km/h a m/s, esto es 22.5 m/s.

Ahora, usando la ecuacion cinemática, en un movimiento acelerado tenemos:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2a \Delta x

Queremos encontrar la posición hasta detenerse, osea vf = 0.

\Delta x=\frac{-v_{0}^{2}}{2a}

\Delta x=\frac{-22.5^{2}}{-2*4.5}

\Delta x=56.25 m

b) Para este caso el gráfico se encuentra adjunto.                                      

Espero que te sirva de ayuda!

In outer space, a piece of rock continues moving at the same velocity for
Ray Of Light [21]

The absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

<h3>Absence of external force on the outer space</h3>

The outer space is almost an absolute vacuum, because it's nearly empty. There is no matter such as air in the outer space that will provide an external force needed to change the velocity of the piece of rock.

From Newton's first law of motion, an object in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Thus, the absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 13.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(A) V = 9.89m/s

(B) U = -2.50m/s

(C) ΔK.E = –377047J

(D) ΔK.E = –257750J

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below. The east has been chosen as the direction for positivity.

This problem involves the principle of momentum conservation. This principle states that the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. This problem is an inelastic kind of collision for which the momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not. The kinetic energy after collision is always lesser than that before collision. The balance is converted into heat by friction, and also sound energy.

See attachment below for full solution.
