A sled starts at rest with 51,450 J of potential energy. After traveling part of the way down the slope, the sled has 32,781 J o

f potential energy. If there is no friction, what is the kinetic energy of the sled?

Because of conservation of energy, ep is equal to ek.
at that point ep=ek
the kinetic energy would be 32,781J

If the Hubble Space Telescope is 598 m above the surface of the Earth and is traveling at 7.56 x 103 m/s, how long does it take

viva [34]

Answer:

5069.04 seconds

Explanation:

The parameter we are looking for is called the Orbital period of the Hubble Space Telescope.

It is given as:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2r^3 }{GM} }$

where r = radius of orbit of Hubble Space Telescope

G = gravitational constant = $6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

M = Mass of earth

We are given that:

r = radius of the earth + distance of HST from earth

r = $6.38 * 10^6 + 598 = 6380598 m$

M = $5.98 * 10^{24} kg$

Therefore, T will be:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4*\pi^2 * 6380598^3 }{6.67408 * 10^{-11} * 5.98 * 10^{24}}}$

$T = 5069.04 secs$

The orbital period of the Hubble Space Telescope is 5069.04 seconds.

s2008m [1.1K]

Here is your answer:

First find the notations:

5.0×10^2=500.
1.0×10^3=1,000

Then you multiply:

1,000×500=500,000

Your answer is...
=500,000 or 5.0×10^4

A grocery shopper tosses a(n) 9.0 kg bag of rice into a stationary 17.4 kg grocery cart. The bag hits the cart with a horizontal

noname [10]

Answer:

$V=1.77m/s$

Explanation:

#Using the conservation of momentum , momentum before equals momentum after( $p=mv)$ .

-Initial speed is 5.2m/s while the cart is at rest. After, the velocity will be of a combined(bag+cart) mass.

Hence:

$9.0\times 5.2+17.4\times 0=(9+17.4)V\\\\V=\frac{9\times5.2}{9+17.4}\\\\=1.77m/s\\$

Hence, the final velocity of the cart and bag is 1.77m/s
