Answer: v = 20 m/s

Explanation: Solution:

Use the formula of Kinetic Energy and derive for v:

KE = 1/2 mv²

To find v:

v = √ 2 KE / m

= √ 2 ( 100000 J ) / 500 kg

= √ 400 m/s

= 20 m/s

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law

Yuri [45]

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

a mars prototype carrying scientific instruments has a mass of 1060kg. a net force of 52000 n is applied to this roverat a test

choli [55]

F = 52000 N

m = 1060 kg

a= F/m = 52000 N/1060 kg = 49.0566 m/s^2

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.
