It would be A. Because think of the explanations Jasons friend could say to them that would be a negative 'statement'.
Answer:
Answer:u=66.67 m/s
Explanation:
Given
mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg
velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s
Kinetic Energy of Meteor
K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}
K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}
K.E.=2\times 10^6 J
Kinetic Energy of Car
=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2
=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2
\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6
900\times u^2=4\times 10^6
u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4
u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2
u=66.67 m/s
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules
