Answer:

Answer is 183.6 J

Explanation:

Using the Physics reference sheet the formula for Potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Mass= 1.2

Gravity I used is 9.81 (use 10 to get the answer most schools use)

Height= 15.6

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

$m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

$m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s$

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to

Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.
