Ep is gravitational potential energy
m is mass (kg)
g is gravitational field strength (N/kg)
h is height (m)

Ep= mgh
= 80kg*9.8N/kg*100m
= 78 400 J

A stone with a weight of 5.29 N is launched vertically from ground level with an initial speed of 26.0 m/s, and the air drag on
makkiz [27]

Answer:

a) 19.4 m/s

b) 19 m/s

Explanation:

a) In the given question,

the potential energy at the initial point = Ui = 0

the potential energy at the final point = Uf = mgh

the kinetic energy at the initial point = Ki = 1/2 mv₀².

the kinetic energy at the final point = Kf = 0

work done by air= Ea= fh =  0.262 N

Now, using the law of conservation of energy

initial energy= final energy

Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf +Ea

1/2 mv₀² + 0 = 0 + mgh + fh

1/2 mv₀² = mgh + fh

h = v₀²/ 2g (1 +f/w)

calculate m

m= w/g = 5.29 /9.8

= 0.54 kg

h = 20 ²/ (2 x9.80) x (1 0.265/5.29)

h = 19.4 m.

b) 1/2 mv² + 2fh = 1/2 mv₀²

Vg = 19 m/s

Giving brainiest to correct answer.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

5.33\ m/s

Explanation:

We\ know\ that,\\Momentum=Mass*Velocity\\p=mv\\Hence,\\Lets\ first\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5*0.2=1\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=2\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*2=0.6\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision'=1+0.6=1.6\ kg\ m/s

Hence,\\Lets\ now\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'After\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=v\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'After\ Collision'=0+0.3v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s

As\ we\ know\ that,\\Through\ the\ law\ of\ conservation\ of\ momentum,\\In\ an\ isolated\ system:\\Total\ Momentum\ Before\ Collision=Total\ Momentum\ After\ Collision\\Hence,\\1.6=0.3v\\v=\frac{1.6}{0.3}=5.33\ m/s

What is the difference between compound, element and mixture?
defon
Compound; consists of atoms of two or more different elements bound together,can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means) has properties that are different from its component elements, and always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.Mixtures; Note that a mixture:consists of two or more different elements and/or compounds physically intermingled, can be separated into its components by physical means, and often retains many of the properties of its components.
