Answer:

The kinetic energy when the film vault landed is 12744000J.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is defined as:

k_{e} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  (1)

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

By means of equation 1, the kinetic energy of the film vault when it landed can be determined

k_{e} = \frac{1}{2}(1770kg)(120m/s)^{2}  

But 1 J = kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

k_{e} = 12744000J

Hence, the kinetic energy when the film vault landed is 12744000J.

How would doubling the mass of Earth affect the gravity we experience?​
N76 [4]
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

A horse travels 80 meters south in 20 seconds. What is its average velocity?
AURORKA [14]

Average velocity is a vector unit (i.e. includes magnitude <em>and </em>direction) calculated by working out distance ÷ time:

80 metres ÷ 20 seconds = 4 metres/seconds (m/s)

Therefore, your final answer is C. 4 m/s south.
