-- Momentum is (mass) x (speed).
Object B has 1.5 times as much momentum as Object A has.

-- Kinetic energy is (1/2) x (mass) x (speed) .
Object B has 1.5 times as much kinetic energy as Object A has.

-- If they would both stop long enough to get on the scale,
Object B would weigh 1.5 times as much as Object A does.

An 80.0 kg hiker walks a distance of 400.0 m along a road that slopes 5.0 degrees upward, and then stops. What is the hiker's fi

lana66690 [7]

The height difference is found by
$\delta H=400sin(5 \°)=34.86m$
Then the change in potential energy is
$E=mgh=(80.0kg)(9.8 \frac{kgm}{s^2})(34.86)= 27332J$

An American Red Cross plane needs to drop emergency supplies to victims of a hurricane in a remote part of the world. The plane

Andreas93 [3]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that air resistance is ignored.

Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²

The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²

Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s

The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m

Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)
