Givens

  • 500 grams = 500 grams * [1 kg/1000 grams] = 0.5 kg
  • h = 2 meters
  • g = 9.81

Formula

PE = m*g*h

Solution

PE = 0.5 * 9.81 * 2

PE = 9.81 Joules

A segull flying horizontally at 15m/s drops a clam. The clam takes 3.0sec to hit the ground. How high was the seagull when the c
lora16 [44]

The distance a dropped object falls, with gravity and no air resistance:

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Without air resistance, the horizontal motion has no effect on the fall.

Acceleration of Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Distance = (1/2) (9.81 m/s²) (3.0 s)²

Distance = (0.5) x (9.81 m/s²) x (9.0 s²)

Distance = (0.5 x 9.81 x 9.0) (m-s² / s²)

Distance = 44.15 meters

We don't care how fast the bird was flying horizontally.  It doesn't change anything.  (It DOES determine how far ahead of the drop point the clam hits the ground.  Most problems like this ask for that distance.  This one didn't.)

If two cars have the same velocity do they have the same acceleration
Allisa [31]
No, if it takes less time, the acceleration is greater.

Hope this helps!

A 3 kilogram block is sliding across the ground at a velocity of 8 meters per second. What is the momentum of the block?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

24 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum (p) = mass x velocity

Mass = 3kg , velocity 8m/s

momentum (p) = 3kg x 8m/s

= 24kgm/s

For each combination, record the total force, total mass, and acceleration. On the last column, multiply the mass (m) and accele
Sedaia [141]

Hello. You did not present the combinations the question refers to, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

To present the total force you must use the following formula: Mass x Acceleration.

To calculate the total mass, you must use the formula: Force / acceleration.

To calculate the acceleration you must use the formula: Force / mass.
