Tsunamis can be a few kilometres
Given parameters:
Mass of object = 6.7kg
Velocity = 8m/s
Unknown parameter:
Kinetic energy = ?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;
Kinetic and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.
Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;
Kinetic energy = 
where m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body
Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;
Kinetic energy =
x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4J
So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4J
(5 mi/hr) x (1hr/60min) x (10min) = 5 x 10 / 60 = <em>5/6 mile</em>
(5/6 mile) x (1,760 yd/mile) = <em>1,466 and 2/3 yards</em>
Given:
m = 4 kg, the mass of the object
h = 5 m, distance fallen
Neglect air resistance.
The PE (potential energy) is
PE = mgh = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 m) = 196 J
The PE is converted into KE (kinetic energy) after the fall.
Therefore the PE decreased by 196 J ≈ 200 J
Answer: d. It has decreased by 200 J
