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

vichka [17]

Answer:

The force must he apply to the sled is of F= 764.4 N.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

μ=0.3

W= m*g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ*W

Fr= 176.4 N

F= W + Fr

F= 764.4 N

A particle with a charge of 2e moves between two points which have a potential difference of 75V. What is the change in potentia
Sonbull [250]
Electric potential energy is defined as Ep=Q*V where Q is the magnitude of the charge and V is the potential difference. So when a charge moves between the points that have a potential difference, it's energy changes. 

In our case: 

Q=2e=2*(-1.6*10^-19) C
V=75 V

Ep=(-3.2*10^-19)*75

Ep=-2.4*10^-17 J

The change in potential energy of the charge is -2.4*10^-17 J

I measured my pet dog (Mickey) to be able to run the length of my backyard 500 in 12 seconds. At this rate, how many miles can m
Georgia [21]

The dog runs  300240 miles.

<h3>What is the rate?</h3>

Rate refers to the pace at which something happens. We know that the easiest way to obtain the rate is by the use of proportion. Now we have been told that the dog is able to run 500 miles in 12 seconds.

If the dog runs 500 miles in 12 seconds

The dog runs x miles in 1 second

x = 500 * 1/12

x = 41.7 miles

In two hours we have 2 * 60 * 60 = 7200 seconds

If the dog runs 41.7 miles in 1 second

The dog runs x miles in 7200 seconds

x = 41.7 miles * 7200 seconds/ 1 second

x = 300240 miles
