Answer:

The answer to your question is Ke = 72 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on the speed of and object and its mass.

Data

mass = m = 4 kg

speed = v = 6 m/s

distance = d =  8 m

Kinetic energy = ke = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2) mv²

Substitution

Ke = (1/2) (4)(6)²

Simplification

Ke = (1/2)(4)(36)

Ke = (1/2)(144)

Ke = 72 Joules

Result

Ke = 72 J

How do you know that Earth is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun ? Explain how you would be affected if you were able
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

Explanation: Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. I am so sorry if I get this wrong, I'm in 5th grade! ♥

An object, initially at rest moves 250m in 17s. What is it's acceleration?
Gekata [30.6K]
With the values you've given, only velocity can be found.
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity

d= 250s
t= 17s

a= d/t
 =\frac{250}{17}
 = 4.7 \frac{m}{s}

Why is the metric system used globally, but we use the US customary units?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The biggest reasons the U.S. hasn't adopted the metric system are simply time and money. When the Industrial Revolution began in the country, expensive manufacturing plants became a main source of American jobs and consumer products.
