Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:
U = M*H*g
where g is the gravitational acceleration:
g = 9.8m/s^2
Then:
"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"
M = 8kg
H = 2.2m
U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J
"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"
M = 6kg
H = 3.2m
U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J
You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.
The answer to this is Animal habitation
Answer:
B. twice as much kinetic energy
Explanation:
Lets take the mass of the first marble =2 m
the mass of the second marble = m
We know that velocity of particle does not depends on their mass that is the velocity of both mass will be same after dropping from the roof.
We know that kinetic energy of a mass is given as
Kinetic energy for heavier mass
Kinetic energy for light mass
KE=2 KE '
Form above two equation we can say that ,the kinetic energy for the heavier mass is twice the lighter mass.
Therefore the answer will be B.
Answer:
Explanation:
The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.
Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:
Momentum = mass x velocity
Let us consider the momentum of the balls;
Substance C;
Mass = 1kg
Velocity = 5m/s
Momentum of C = 1 x 5 = 5kgm/s
Substance D:
Mass = 100kg
Velocity = 5m/s
Momentum of D = 100kg x 5m/s = 500kgm/s
Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.
The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.
