Answer:
72 joules
Explanation:
The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.
since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)
therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy
mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.
I'd say A. because an inference is a guess/estimate. You can assume that the egg rolled off the kitchen but you know that C and D are true.
The resultant force in the direction the truck is headed is:
734N*cos(31) + 1084N*cos(23)
629N+998N = 1627N
The experiments that claimed to demonstrate cold fusion were found
to have been faulty by others who reviewed them. Also, nobody else
was
able to reproduce the finding in other laboratories. In the world
of
Science, this pretty much says that the initial claims were unfounded.
