Answer:

Kinetic Enerrgy = 12744000 J or 12.744 MJ

Explanation:

Given Data:

Mass of fragment = m =1770 kg    ;

Estimated speed = v = 120 m/sec ;

Solution:

As we know that

Kinetic energy = K.E = (1/2)mv²

By putting the values, we get

              K.E = 0.5*1770*120²

              K.E = 12744000 J

                            or

              K.E = 12.744 MJ

So, the kinetic energy of lead-lined vault when it landed was 12.744MJ approximately.

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field
Reil [10]

Answer:

  • apples falling from trees
  • people's feet touching the ground
  • sky divers moving toward the ground  
  • balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.

Read through the and calculate the predicted change in kinetic energy of the oblect compared to 50 kg ball traveling at 10 m/s .
Sliva [168]

Answer:

A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would have 4 times more kinetic energy.

A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would have 4 times less kinetic energy.

A 50 kg person falling at 10 m/s would have the same kinetic energy.

Explanation:

hope this helps:)
