Gravitational potential energy=mass of object x gravitational field strength on earth(9.8 usually rounded to 10) x the height the object is held at

Therefore if two objects were held at the same height, the object with more mass(the heavier object) will fall faster because it's gravitational potential energy is greater than that of the lighter object

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity of 75.0 m/s. 25.0 east of north, and 100.0 m/s, 25.0 east of sou
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

77.35 m / s

Ф = -17° from + X axis or 343° from + X axis

Explanation:

v1 = 75 m/s 25° east of north

v2 = 100 m/s  25° east of south

Write the velocities in vector form ,we get

\overrightarrow{v_{1}}=75\left ( Sin25\widehat{i} +Cos25\widehat{j}\right )=31.7\widehat{i}+67.97\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{v_{1}}=100\left ( Sin25\widehat{i} -Cos25\widehat{j}\right )=42.26\widehat{i}-90.63\widehat{j}

Now add the velocity vectors to get the resultant of the velocities.

\overrightarrow{v}=\overrightarrow{v_{1}}+\overrightarrow{v_{2}}

\overrightarrow{v}=\left (31.7+42.26  \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 67.97- 90.63 \right )\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{v}=73.96\widehat{i}-22.66\widehat{j}

magnitude of resultant velocity is \sqrt{\left ( 73.96 \right )^{2}+\left ( -22.66 \right )^{2}}

  = 77.35 m / s

The direction is Ф from X axis

tan\phi =\frac{-22.66}{73.96}=-0.306

Ф = -17° from + X axis or 343° from + X axis

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

its speed is insignificant before the diver's speed change, so the result does not change

Explanation:

In this exercise of conservation of the momentum, the system is formed by the diver and the Earth

initial instant (before jumping)

       p₀ = 0

final instant (after jumping)

      p_{f} = m v + M v²

how momentum is conserved

        p₀ = p_{f}

        0 = m v + M v²

         v² = m / M v

since the mass of the Earth is M = 10²⁴ kg

   its speed is insignificant before the diver's speed change, so the result does not change

Which has more pressure, FIRST one gets all the points.
SSSSS [86.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

area of point has more pressure.

<u>Explanation:</u>

formula's : pressure = force ÷ area

1st pressure,

200 ÷ 0.2 = 1000 Pa

2nd pressure,

200 ÷ 0.004 = 50000 Pa

<h3>Therefore the pressure on the area of the point is more.</h3>
