A 1.2-kg mass is projected from ground level with a velocity of 30 m/s at some unknown angle above the horizontal. A short time

after being projected, the mass barely clears a 16-m tall fence. Disregard air resistance and assume the ground is level. What is the kinetic energy of the mass as it clears the fence

Answer:

K_f = 351.84 J

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy K:

E_i = E_f

so:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = K_f + mgh

where m is the mass, v the initial velocity, K_f is the kinetic energy of the mass as it clears the fence, g the gravity and h the altitude.

Then, replacing values, we get:

\frac{1}{2}(1.2kg)(30m/s)^2 = K_f + (1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)(16m)

solving for K_f:

K_f = 351.84 J

Describe a scenario where a car's speed could stay the same, but the acceleration changes.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes.

what is the property of an object due to its mass by which it resists any change in its position unless overcome by force ?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Mass as a Measure of the Amount of Inertia

All objects resist changes in their state of motion. All objects have this tendency - they have inertia.
