Answer:

The 10 kg mass would have to be at a height 3 times that of the 30 kg mass to have the same gravitational potential energy as the 30 kg mass.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, U = mgh where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = height of object above the ground.

Now, let U' = gravitational potential energy of 10 kg mass = m'gh' where m' = 10 kg and h' = height of 10 kg mass above the ground.

So, U' = 10gh'

Also, let U" = gravitational potential energy of 30 kg mass = m"gh" where m" = 30 kg and h" = height of 30 kg mass above the ground.

So, U" = 30gh"

Since both object are supposed to have the same potential energy at a given height of the 10 kg mass,

U' = U"

10gh' = 30gh"

h' = 30gh"/10g

h' = 3h"

<u>So, the 10 kg mass would have to be at a height 3 times that of the 30 kg mass to have the same gravitational potential energy as the 30 kg mass.</u>

If the car in the opposite direction turns the signal on your vehicle, then it is only likely to give way and let him or her turn before you make your turn because he or she is in the right of way and by doing this, it will prevent any complication from happening and to be able to show respect and politeness in driving.

a. 25 joules of work is done by the object.

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done ON an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object, therefore:

W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the final kinetic energy of the car, with

m = 2 kg being the mass of the car

v = 0 is the final speed of the car (brought to rest)

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 is the initial kinetic energy of the car, with

u = 5 m/s being the initial speed of the car

Substituting numbers, we find:

W=\frac{1}{2}(2)(0)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^2=-25 J

The negative sign means that the work done ON the car is negative: this means therefore that the work has been actually done BY the car. In fact, the car has lost its kinetic energy: this means that it has done work on the surrounding, converting its kinetic energy into other forms of energy.
