For the first one: A falling object has higher gravitational potential energy and as it falls this decreases but kinetic energy increases. As the object hits the floor, energy is transferred to heat and sound.

42*9.8*12= 4939.2
Kinetic energy = 4939.2 OR 4939

To find the final speed use the kinetic energy formula;

Ek = 1/2 MV2

4939=1/2*42*v2
V2= 4939 divided by (1/2 * 42)
V2= 4939 / 21
V2= 235.1904761904762
Find square root
V= 15.3359211067
= 15.

Reach the ground at 15m s -¹

Note:
Formula To calculate kinetic energy:
Ek = 1/2 MV2
Ek= kinetic energy of an object
M= mass of object
V= velocity/speed of object

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J$

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

$m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2$

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute $m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3$

$m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}$

Divide both side by $m_1$ , then multiply by 6 we have

$6v = 2v + 3v_2$

$3v_2 = 4v$

$v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}$

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction

Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.

How does the force of gravity between two bodies change when the distance between them doubles?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity between the two bodies is one-fourth as strong as before

Explanation:

The force of gravity between two bodies depends on the mass and distance. But we will focus on distance since that's what the question asks

Therefore, the force of gravity decreases as distance between the bodies increases.
