6 0

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Right before the coin hits the ground, its height above the ground is 0 m, so the potential energy is:

PE = mgh

PE = (0.005 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0 m)

PE = 0 J

An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free
Blababa [14]

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

If Mrs. Reichelt throws a chromebook, because it won't login correctly, with a force of 8N, and the chromebook accelerates at 5m
suter [353]

Answer:

1.6 kg

Step-by-step Solution:

Since Force = mass × acceleration we have:

F = 8N

a= 5 m/s^2

m = ?

By plugging the values above into F=ma we obtain:

F=ma\\\\8=m(5)\\\\\frac{8}{5}=\frac{m(5)}{5}\\\\m=\frac{8}{5}=1.6

Therefore, the Chromebook has a mass of 1.6 kilograms.

The total angular momentum of the system about point B is L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

Angular momentum, also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum, is the rotating counterpart of linear momentum.

A rigid object's angular momentum is defined as the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity. If there is no external torque on the object, it is analogous to linear momentum and is subject to the fundamental constraints of the conservation of angular momentum principle. The vector quantity angular momentum It is derived from the expression for a particle's angular momentum.

Given,

mass of ball 1 = m1

m₂ mass of ball 2=m2

v₁ is the velocity of ball=r₁ω₁

v₂ is the velocity of ball 2=r₂ω₂

The total angular momentum is given as;

V_{total}=r_1\omega_1+r_2\omega_2\\\\L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

Hence the total angular momentum  will be L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.
