We know, U = m * g * h
U = 4000 * 9.8 * 20
U = 784000 J

In short, Your Answer would be: 784000 J or 784 KJ

Hope this helps!

What is the difference between a constellation and an “asterism”? Name at least one commonly known asterism.
marta [7]
A "constellation" is the total, full, complete thing in the night sky ...
ALL of the stars that go together to make up the complete dog or
the queen or the fish or the bear, or whatever else the story of
that particular part of the sky involves.

An "asterism" is a small, easily recognized group of stars, that
can be spotted right away, although they're only a small part
of a constellation.

The Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, Orion's Belt, and the Great Square
are asterisms.  They're parts of the constellations of the Big Bear,
the Little Bear, Orion the Great and Mighty Hunter, and Pegasus,
respectively.

Un automóvil viaja a la velocidad de 10 m/s. Se acelera Durante 12s y aumenta su velocidad hasta 70 m/s ¿Que aceleración experim
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Aceleracion = 5 m/s²

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad inicial = 10 m/s

Velocidad final = 70 m/s

Tiempo, t = 12 segundos

Para encontrar la aceleración;

Aceleración se puede definir como la tasa de cambio de la velocidad de un objeto con respecto al tiempo.

Esto simplemente significa que la aceleración viene dada por la resta de la velocidad inicial de la velocidad final a lo largo del tiempo.

Por lo tanto, si restamos la velocidad inicial de la velocidad final y la dividimos por el tiempo, podemos calcular la aceleración de un objeto. Matemáticamente, la aceleración viene dada por la fórmula;

Aceleracion = \frac{final \; velocidad  -  inicial \; velocidad}{tiempo}

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

Aceleracion = \frac{70 - 10}{12}

Aceleracion = \frac{60}{12}

Aceleracion = 5 m/s²

what is the acceleration produced by the resultant force acting on an object if the coefficient of friction acting between the b
LenKa [72]

The acceleration of the block is -0.98 m/s^2

Explanation:

The expression for the force of friction acting on the block is (assuming the surface is horizontal and flat):

F_f = -\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the block

g is the acceleration of gravity

and where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to that of the motion of the block

If this is the only force acting on the object, then this is also the resultant force, so we can rewrite Newton's second law as:

F=ma\\-\mu mg = ma

where

a is the acceleration of the block

Re-arranging the equation,

a=-\mu g

And so this is the expression for the acceleration of the block acted upon the force of friction.

In this problem, we have:

\mu=0.1

g=9.8 m/s^2

Solving,

a=-(0.1)(9.8)=-0.98 m/s^2

If zak's speed is 3.00 m/s when he starts to slide, what distance d will he slide before stopping? express your answer in meters
OverLord2011 [107]
That will depend on the coefficient of friction between the sliding surfaces, and also on Zak's weight. We don't have any of that information.
