Answer:

Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the wrench is, $m=655\ g=0.655\ kg$

Height of fall is, $h=227\ m$

Force of resistance is, $F=0.141\ N$

Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.

Now, potential energy at the top is given as:

$U=mgh\\U=0.655\times 9.8\times 227\\U=1457.113\ J$

Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.

Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.

⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.

Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:

$W_{res}=Fh=0.141\times 227=32.007\ J$

Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:

$K=U-W_{res}\\\\K=1457.113\ J - 32.007\ J\\\\K=1425.106\approx1425.11\ J$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.

Answer:

B. They each contain the same amount of matter.

Explanation:

Scientifically, mass is the amount of matter in an object.

A. Whether an object is big or small does not mean that it will be a certain mass. If you have two objects that are the same size, the denser object will have more mass, and the less dense object will have less mass.

C. The amount of space an object takes up is called the volume.

D. Different combinations and amounts of elements can give you the same mass. Rocks, books and cans of soda are made of different things.
