Answer:
Change in mechanical energy,
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the projectile, m = 12 kg
Speed of the projectile, v = 20 m/s
Maximum height, h = 18 m
Initially, the projectile have only kinetic energy. it is given by :
K = 2400 J
Finally, it have only potential energy. it is given by :
P = mgh
P =2116.8 J
The change in mechanical energy is given by :
So, the change in mechanical energy is 283.2 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
44.09 pounds
Explanation:
We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation
where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:
Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms. Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:
Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:
,
the total mass of nutty chocolate bars made last Tuesday to two significant figures.
