Answer:

E=252J

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

E mech=K+U

Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Ug=mgh

Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

W=→Fg=mg

We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.

Ug=12N⋅21m

⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Hope it helped, God bless you!

A 2.0-kg ball rolls to the right at 3.0 m/s. A 4.0-kg ball rolls to the left at 2.0 m/s . What is the momentum of the system aft
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s

Explanation:

         One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s
