A paper airplane with mass 0.1 kg is flying 1.5 m above the ground with a speed of 2 m/s. What is the total mechanical energy of
Wewaii [24]
Total mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
E = KE + PE
E = ½mv² + mgh
E = ½(0.1 kg)(2 m/s)² + (0.1 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1.5 m)
E = 0.2 J + 1.47 J
E = 1.67 J

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

ollegr [7]
The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s

A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 7.7 ✕ 104 kg and is subject to a friction f
MaRussiya [10]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.

In this way,

The total mass of the cars would be,

m_T = 25(7.7*10^4)Kg

m_T = 1.925*10^6Kg

Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,

f=250v

f= 250*29Km/h

f = 250*29*(\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

f = 2013.889N

In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,

T=m_Ta+f

T=(1.925*10^6)(0.2)+2013.889

T= 3.8701*10^5N

Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is 3.87*10^5N
