Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

The acceleration of automobiles is often given in terms of the time it takes to go from 0 mi/h to 60 mi/h. One of the fastest st

Rudiy27

Answer:

9.934 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport = 0 mi/h

Final speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport = 60 mi/h

Now,

1 mi/h = 0.44704 m / s

thus,

60 mi/h = 0.44704 × 60 = 26.8224 m/s

Time = 2.70 m/s

Now,

The acceleration (a) is given as:

$a=\frac{\textup{Change in speed}}{\textup{Time}}$

thus,

$a=\frac{26.8224 - 0 }{2.70}$

a = 9.934 m/s²

Answer:

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the

Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁ = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

5 x 1 + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

5 = 20v

v = $\frac{5}{20}$ = 0.25m/s
