39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

= 39.2 J

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. The projectile reaches maxi

Alchen [17]

Answer:

x ≈ 56 m

Explanation:

vertical initial velocity = $v_{0y}(t)$ = 25 m/s* sin(30°)= 12.5 m/s

height = h

$h =v_{0y}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2} \\\\65m = 12.5m/s*t + \frac{9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}}{2} \\\\t=2.584 s$

t- time is found solving quadratic equation.

horizontal velocity = $v_{0x}=25m/s*cos(30^{o})=21.65 m/s$

Horizontal velocity is constant, so distance $x=v_{0x}*t =21.65 m/s *2.584 s=55.9 = 56 m$

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) frombehind while going 35 m/s. Immediately after the collision, car Bmove

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision in term of the initial energy is 0.49.

Explanation:

As the final and initial velocities are known it is possible then the kinetic energy is possible to calculate for each instant.

By definition, the kinetic energy is:

k = 0.5*mV^2

Expressing the initial and final kinetic energy for cars A and B:

$ki=0.5*maVa_{i}^2+0.5*mbVb_{i}^2$

$kf=0.5*maVa_{f}^2+0.5*mbVb_{f}^2$

Since the masses are equals:

$m=ma=mb$

For the known velocities, the kinetics energies result:

$ki=0.5*mVa_{i}^2$

$ki=0.5*m(35 m/s)^2=612.5m^2/s^2*m$

$kf=0.5*mbVb_{f}^2$

$kf=0.5*m(25 m/s)^2=312.5m^2/s^2*m$

The lost energy in the collision is the difference between the initial and final kinectic energies:

$kl=ki-kf$

$kl = 612.5m^2/s^2*m-312.5 m^2/s^2*m=300 m^2/s^2*m$

Finally the relation between the lost and the initial kinetic energy:

$kl/ki = 300 m^2/s^2 * m / 612.5 m^2/s^2 * m$

$kl/ki = 24/49=0.49$

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Dogs are able to hear much higher frequencies than humans are capable of detecting. For this reason, dog whistles that are inaudible to the human ear can be heard easily by a dog. If a dog whistle has a frequency of 30,000 Hz, what is the wavelength of the sound emitted?

Examine the circuit. Pretend you are an electron flowing through this circuit and you are with a group of other electrons. Sudde

melamori03 [73]

You knew that this question is ridiculously easy. So, just to
make it harder, you decided not to let us see the picture, so
that we could not "examine the circuit".

The description is talking about a parallel circuit. The other
kind is a series circuit, and that one has no forks in the road.
