Answer:

7056 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ship roller coaster is 36,000 kg.

It reaches a height of 20 m off the ground

We need to find the gravitational potential energy does it have. The formula for the gravitational potential energy ios given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 36,000 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

= 7056000 J

or

E = 7056 kJ

So, it will have 7056 kJ of gravitational potential energy.

A car travel with a constant velocity of 20.5m/s for 20seconds what distance does it cover in this time ?​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

410 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.5 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 20 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (20.5 m/s) (20 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20 s)²

Δx = 410 m

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo
Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s  first law, the net force on gymnast,

F_{net} =F-W=ma

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast (9\times g acceleration due to gravity)  

Therefore,

F= ma+W OR F=ma+mg=m(g+a)

Given m = 30 kg anda=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,  

F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )

F=3.537\times10^{3}N
