<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

98,000 joules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Kinetic is the energy possessed by a body in motion; while kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while at rest.

Potential energy is given by; mgh, where m is the mass, g the gravity, 9.8 m/s² and h is the height.

Energy can be transformed from one form to another and can neither be created or destroyed.

Therefore;

Potential energy = 2000 × 5 × 9.8

= 98,000 joules

Therefore, the kinetic energy will still be 98,000 joules, when the body is in motion.

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a

klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg

If it takes a ball dropped from rest 2.261 s to fall to the ground, from what height H was it released? Express your answer in m

algol [13]

Answer:

Height, H = 25.04 meters

Explanation:

Initially the ball is at rest, u = 0

Time taken to fall to the ground, t = 2.261 s

Let H is the height from which the ball is released. It can be calculated using the second equation of motion as :

$H=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, a = g

$H=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$H=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (2.261)^2$

H = 25.04 meters

So, the ball is released form a height of 25.04 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you pull a resistant puppy with its leash in a horizontal direction, it takes 80 N to get it going. You can then keep it movi

netineya [11]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

Explanation:

The horizontal force applied to move the puppy from a steady state has to be greater than the force of static friction, after it is moving the force needs to be equal to be greater than the force of dynamic friction in order to maintain its movement. The force of static friction is given by:

$F_s = \mu_s*N$

Where $F_s$ is the static friction force, $\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction and $N$ is the normal force. Since there's no angle on the flor the normal force is equal to the weight of the puppy, therefore, $N = 110\text{ N}$ , to make the puppy moving we need to use a force of 80 N, therefore, $F_s = 80 \text{ N}$ , so we can solve for the coefficient as shown below:
