Answer:

Kinetic energy at the bottom equals potential energy at the top hence 269971.2  J

Explanation:

Assuming no friction and neglecting air resistance, from the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy that the car posses at 32 m is all converted to kinetic energy hence

PE= mgh

KE= 0.5mv^{2}

Here m denotes the mass of the car, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height and v is the speed of the car

The potential energy will be PE= 860*9.81*32=269971.2  J

A big box of sausages (30 kg) are lifted from the ground to the top shelf of the freezer. If the box is lifted at a constant spe
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The work done by gravity moving the box up is -514.5 Joules.

Explanation:

The gravity acts in the direction of the displacement, which in this case is negative (ground - top shelf), and so the resulting work is negative. The work is calculated as:

W_g = mg\Delta h = 30kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot(0-1.75)m=-514.5J

The work done by gravity moving the box up is -514.5 Joules.

A small object carrying a charge of -3.00 nc is acted upon by a downward force of 30.0 nn when placed at a certain point in an e
arlik [135]
The working equation for this one is:

E = F/Q, where E is the strength of the electric field, F is the electric force and Q is the charge. Substituting the corresponding values, the strength of the electric field is equal to

E = -30 nN/-3 nC
E = 10 nN/nC

A rock dropped into a pond produces a wave that takes 11.3 s to reach the opposite shore, 26.5 m away. the distance between cons
Kay [80]
The wave takes 11.3 s to cover a distance of 26.5 m, so its speed is:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{26.5 m}{11.3 s}=2.35 m/s

The distance between two consecutive crests is 3 m, and this corresponds to the wavelength of the wave. To find its frequency, we can use the relationship between the speed v, the wavelength \lambda and the frequency f:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda}= \frac{2.35 m/s}{3 m}=0.78 Hz

When you step inside a warm ski lodge on a cold day, you find your glasses fog. why does this occur?
marin [14]
Answer: Condensation of moisture in the air onto the glasses.

Explanation:
When you come from a cold environment into a warm ski lodge, the glasses are at a much lower temperature than that of the lodge.
Because the air in the room contains moisture (water vapor), it condenses on a surface whose temperature is lower than the dew point of the room.
