Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

a 0.0818 kg salt shaker on a rotating table feels an inward frictional force of 0.108 N when it is moving 0.333m/s. what is the
serg [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The required radius of its motion is 0.084m.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for calculating the required  radius of its motion is given by

F = (mv^2)/r

Where <em>m= mass  </em>

<em>V= moving velocity </em>

<em>F=frictional force </em>

<em>r = radius of its motion </em>

Then the required radius of its motion is given by

r =(mv^2)/F

<u>Given that </u>

<em>mas =0.0818 kg </em>

<em>Frictional force= 0.108 N </em>

<em>Moving with Velocity of  = 0.333 m/s </em>

<em>radius of its motion = \frac{[0.0818 kg \times (0.333 m/s)^2]}{0.108 N}</em>

<em>Hence the required radius of its motion is r = 8.4 cm=0.084m</em>

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 60km/h but then changes lanes. Even traveling at a constant speed, the car's velocity
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Yes. Anytime the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. For example, a car traveling at a constant 90 km/h in a straight line has nonzero velocity and zero acceleration.
