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 example best demonstrates how unbalanced forces change the speed of an object's motion?
exis [7]

I don’t see a picture but unbalanced forces could be two boys pushing with a combined force of 400 Newton’s but the surface of what the box is laying on being 600 meaning since the ground is creating a higher force in the form of friction it will slow the boys down. When forces are unbalanced it means that the object can not be still or moving at a constant speed  when one force is greater by a significant amount the object either slows quickly or accelerates fast depending on which factor is greater.

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached
MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

  • When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
  • During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
  • In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
  • At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.
