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>

A bowling ball rolls 33\,\text m33m33, start text, m, end text with an average speed of 2.5\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}2.5 s m ​ 2
asambeis [7]

The ball rolled for 13.2 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Speed is scalar and no direction

\tt avg~speed=\dfrac{total~distance}{elapsed~time}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

A bowling ball rolls 33 m, with average speed = 2.5 m/s

So elapsed time :

\tt t=\dfrac{33~m}{2.5`m/s}=13.2~s

What are the kinetic energy​
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

n physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.[1] It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

In classical mechanics, the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass m traveling at a speed v is {\displaystyle {\begin{smallmatrix}{\frac {1}{2}}mv^{2}\end{smallmatrix}}}{\begin{smallmatrix}{\frac {1}{2}}mv^{2}\end{smallmatrix}}. In relativistic mechanics, this is a good approximation only when v is much less than the speed of light.

The standard unit of kinetic energy is the joule, while the imperial unit of kinetic energy is the foot-pound.

The freight cars a and b have a mass of 20 mg and 15 mg, respectively. if the cars collide and couple together, what is the velo
igomit [66]

Suppose car A is moving with a velocity Va, and car b with a velocity Vb,

According the principle of conservation of momentum:

Va x Ma + Vb x Mb = (Ma + Mb) V

V = (Va x Ma + Vb x Mb)/(Ma +Mb)

V = speed of cars after coupling

V = (Va x 20 mg + Vb x  15 mg)/(20 mg + 15 mg)

Put in the values of Va and Vb, and get the V
