Answer:

K = 960 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child = 20 kg

Mass of a sled = 10 kg

Speed of child on sled = 8 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the sled with the child.

The total mass of child and the sled = 20 kg + 10 kg

= 30 kg

The formula for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 30\times (8)^2\\\\K=960\ J

Hence, the kinetic energy of the sled with the child is 960 J.

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

Charlie Brown kicks a football at 24.5 m/s at 35.0. What is the maximum height of the ball?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

d = 10.076 m

Explanation:

We need to obtain the velocity of the ball in the y direction

Vy  = 24.5m/s * sin(35) = 14.053 m/s

To obtain the distance, we use the formula

vf^2 = v0^2 -2*g*d

but vf = 0

d = -vo^2/2g

d = (14.053)^2/2*(9.8) = 10.076 m

Unlike an observational study, an experiment can prove:
Zinaida [17]

A. Cause and effect.

Explanation:

An experiment can prove cause and effect in a study unlike observational studies.

  • Observational studies is a non-experimental system of investigation.
  • It helps to identify the causes(independent variable) and the effect(dependent variables).
  • In observational studies, the variables cannot be controlled and so it is difficult to prove the cause and effect.
  • An experiment can prove cause and effect because the parameters are tested and can be controlled.
