Answer:

We know that potential energy of a body;

= mass(m)× gravitational acceleration(g) × height(h)

Lets find out the mass of the body

P.E. = mgh

=> 6500J = mass × 9.8m/s^2 × 12m

=>6500J = mass × ( 9.8 × 12 ) × ( m/s^2 × m)

=> 6500 Nm = m × 117.6 × m^2 / s^2

=> 6500/117.6 Ns^2/m = mass [°.° Ns^2/m = kg]

=> 55.272 Kg = mass

Therefore the mass of the body = 55.272 kg ~ <em>6</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>g</em><em> </em>(Ans)

Hope it helps you

What is the original source of energy for gasoline?
Yuki888 [10]
Gasoline comes from petroleum, which is a fossil fuel. Petroleum, coal and natural gas (methane) are all made in the earth's crust from the bodies of plants and animals that died long ago. That's why they are called fossil fuels.

The sun provides the energy that all life needs to grow and reproduce. Therefore, fossil fuels can be considered a form of solar energy that has been stored in the bodies of living things, and then concentrated in hydrocarbon deposits in the earth's crust.

The fact is that all the energy on earth comes from the sun, directly or indirectly, except for nuclear energy, which comes from radioactive elements that were made in other stars that existed before the sun.

Hope this helps!!!

Consider massive gliders that slide friction-free along a horizontal air track. Glider A has a mass of 1 kg, a speed of 1 m/s, a
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

A heavy hall with a mass of 3.5 kg is observed to accelerate
LenKa [72]

Answer:

<h2>21 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 3.5 × 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>21 N</h3>

An object with a mass of 375g is moving with a constant velocity. It has a force of -20 N applied to it. Determine the accelerat
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Convert the mass to kg:

375g = 375/1000kg = 0.375kg

F = ma

-20 = 0.375a

a = -20/0.375

a = -53

The object is accelerating at 53m/s/s backwards assuming that the forward motion is positive.
