Answer:

3000J

Explanation:

The gravitational energy for any object is given by E=mgh

where m is mass, g is gravitational field strength anf h is height above ground

<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

$V=V_{o}-g.t$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the rock's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the rock's initial position

$V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s}$ is the rock's initial velocity

$V$ is the final velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know $y_{o}=0$ , equation (2) is rewritten as:

$y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height is accomplished when $V=0$ :

$V=V_{o}-g.t=0$ (4)

$V_{o}-g.t=0$

$V_{o}=g.t$ (5)

Finding $t$ :

$t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

$y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}$ (7)

$y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}$ (8) Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

$y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Finally:

$y_{max}=277.777m$

Answer:

3kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Small Sledgehammer:

Mass:3.0

Velocity:1.5

MASS×VELOCITY=MOMENTUM

3.0×1.5= 4.5 (momentum)

Large Sledgehammer:

Mass:4.0

Velocity:0.9

4.0×0.9=3.6 (momentum)

higher momentum is the smaller Sledgehammer.

How much energy is transferred in 10 seconds with a current of 13 amperes and a potential difference of 230 volts?

Serhud [2]

29900 J

Explanation:

Recall that

P = VI

= (230 volts)(13 A)

= 2990 watts

Also,

E = Pt

= (2990 watts)(10 s)

= 29900 J
