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

A boat heads north at 30 mph while a steamer heads east at 40 mph at the same time. When is the distance between them 50 mi? Ans
Reil [10]

Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Speed of the first boat = 30 mph

Speed of the second = 40 mph

The boats will cover different distances but the time taken will be the same.

Time taken by the boats = t

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by the first boat = 30t

Distance covered by the second boat = 40t

Distance between the boats = 50 mi

From the Pythagoras theorem

\sqrt{(30t)^2+(40t)^2}=50\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2500t^2}=50\\\Rightarrow 50t=50\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{50}{50}=1\ hour

Time taken by the boats when they are 50 mi away is 1 hour

A stone that is thrown vertically upwards was having a velocity of 15m/s after reaches 2/3 of its maximum height. What is the ma
attashe74 [19]

<em>The correct answer is option</em><em> B.</em> The maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m.

<h3>Maximum height attained by the stone </h3>

The maximum height attained by the stone when it is a 2/3 of its total height is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

  • v is final velocity at maximum height, v = 0
  • u is initial velocity
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

0 =  u² - 2gh

2gh =  u²

h =  u²/2g

h = (15²)/(2 x 9.8)

h = 11.48 m

h = 11.5 m

Thus, the maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.
