A book is sitting on a shelf that is 3.0 meters off the ground. Kinetic energy is found using the formula 1/2 times mass times s

peed. Potential energy is found by taking mass times g times height, with g as the constant, 9.8 m/s squared. What is needed to determine the mechanical energy used to move this book?

The only thing in either one of those formulas that we don't know is the mass of the book.

A 1000 Kg car traveling at 10 m/s hits the back of a 5000 Kg truck
insens350 [35]

Answer:

0 m/s

The car becomes stationary

Explanation:

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the sum of inital and final momentum should be equal and expressed as

m_cu_c+m_tu_t=m_cv_c+m_tv_t

Where m represent the mass, u and v are tge initial and final velocities while subscripts c and t represent car and truck.

Taking forward direction as positive then considering that the truck is originally at rest, we substitute original truck velocity with 0, mass of car and truck with 1000 kg and 5000 kg respectively then final truck velocity as 2 m/s as we take initial car velocity to be 10 m/s

1000*10+(5000*0)=5000*2+1000v

1000v=0

V=0

Therefore, the car finally becomes stationary.

The pilot might be correct (I think), because, if the gravity of the planet is strong, then the planet’s gravity will pull the spaceship into its orbit, so the engines don’t need to be on for the ship to get pushed toward the planet.

1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.
