Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m$

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?

kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that total distance that man moved is

$d_1 = 200 km$

$d_2 = 100 km$

so total distance is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 200 km + 100 km$

$d = 300 km$

now here total time of the motion is

$t_1 = 6 hours$

$t_2 = 4 hours$

total time will be given as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

$t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours$

now by above formula

$v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 30 km/h$

so his average speed is 30 km/h

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s
