Answer:84.672 joules.

Explanation:

1) Data:

m = 7.2 kg
h = 1.2 m
g = 9.8 m / s²

2) Physical principle

Using the law of mechanical energy conservation principle, you have that the kinetic energy of the dog, when it jumps, must be equal to the final gravitational potential energy.

3) Calculations:

The gravitational potential energy, PE, is equal to m × g × h

So, PE = m × g × h = 7.2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1.2 m = 84.672 joules.

And that is the kinetic energy that the dog needs.

What is the process that changes smaller atoms into larger ones in a star
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). ... A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

An eagle flying at 15 m/s has 600 J of kinetic energy. About how much is the eagles mass?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle  = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle  = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical  energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

              Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

   substitute the parameters in the equation;

                       600  = \frac{1}{2} x m x 15²

                     225m  = 1200

                            m  = \frac{1200}{225}    = 5.33kg

Ivan

Answer:

40s

Explanation:

Given:

F=100N

V=40m/s and 0

force=change in momenton

F=mv-mu

t=40(100-0)/100

t=40/1

t=40s

A spherical shell has inner radius 1.5 m, outer radius 2.5 m, and mass 850 kg, distributed uniformly throughout the shell. What
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational force is 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N

Explanation:

Given that the magnitude of the gravitational force is F = GMm/r²

mass M = 850 kg

mass m = 2.0 kg

distance d = 1.0 m , r = 0.5 m

F = GMm/r²

Gravitational Constant G = 6.67 × 10^-11 Newtons kg-2 m2.

F = (6.67 × 10^-11 * 850 * 2)/0.5²

F = 0.00000045356 N

F = 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N
