Answer:velocity=93.12m/s

Explanation:

We shall use conservation of energy to solve this problem

we have

Potential energy of King Kong at top of building = His kinetic energy at the bottom

Potential energy of an object = m\times g\times h = 20000 kg

Where m is mass of an object(20000 kg)

g is accleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^{2}

h is the height above the surface of earth = 1450 feet = 441.96 meters

Applying values we get

(P.E)_{TOP}=(20000\times 9.81\times 441.96) Joules\\\\(P.E)_{TOP}= 86712.552KiloJoules......................(i)

Now Kinetic energy is given by

(K.E)_{Bottom}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}.......................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

86712.552 =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}

Applying values we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 86712.552\times 10^{3}}{20\times 10^{3}}}\\\\v= 93.12m/s

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

The average net force will be the resultant force of the average forces of both vehicles. On collision, they'll both experience the same impact force, but the deceleration and deformation felt by the individual vehicle will be proportional to the mass of the vehicle. This is why it will seem like the car will have more force but is not actually so.

______ is an offer to repair or replace a product if there is a problem with the product?
ANTONII [103]
<span>A warranty is an offer to repair or replace a product if there is a problem with the product. Warranties are written guarantee issued to the consumer by the manufacturer at the time of purchase, promising to repair or replace a faulty material. It is usually based on the premise that the product is free from defects in materials and workmanship. It claims that the manufacturer constructed the product out of proper materials, and would compensate the consumer should there be any defects. The period to file a claim typically varies. Some manufacturers place a 90 day period, some a year and a few, even more.</span>
