Using conservation of energy and momentum we get m1*v1=(m1+m2)*v2 so rearranging for v2 and plugging the given values in we get:
(200000kg*1.00m/s)/(21000kg)=.952m/s

How much energy is needed to raise a 50kg block up from the ground to a height of 5 meters?​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Pe = 2452.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

height = 5 m

gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Process

The energy of this process is Potential energy which is proportional to the mass of the body, the gravity and the height of the body.

           Pe = mgh

Substitution

           Pe = (50)(5)(9.81)

Simplification

           Pe = 2452.5 J

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the boy standing on both feet if the weight of the boy is 40kg. Assume that the a
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

P = 1333.33 N

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the boy on the floor can be calculated by the following equation:

P = \frac{F}{A}

where,

P = Pressure exerted by the boy = ?

F = Force Applied = Weight of Boy = 40 kg = 40 N (since 1 kg = 1N)

A = Area of application of force = 2(Area of one show) = 2(6 cm x 25 cm)

A = 2(0.06 m x 0.25 m) = 0.03 m²

Therefore,

P = \frac{40\ N}{0.03\ m^2}\\\\

<u>P = 1333.33 N</u>

An automobile engine delivers 47.4 hp. how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.82 × 105 j of work? one horsepower is e
kogti [31]
1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
P=47.4 hp \cdot 746  \frac{W}{hp}=35360 W
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
P= \frac{E}{t}
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is E=6.82 \cdot 10^5 J. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
t =  \frac{E}{P}= \frac{6.82 \cdot 10^5 J}{35360 W}=19.3 s
