The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.
It is calculated as follows:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object above the ground
For the block in this problem, we have:
m = 10 kg
h = 5 m
Therefore, its potential energy is:

Answer:
D. The motion cannot be determined without knowing the speeds of the objects before the collision.
Explanation:
This question is tricky! We know the object moving to the left has a greater mass than the one moving to the right. We'd <em>assume</em> they would move to the left because the leftwards object has a greater mass, right?
Not. So. Fast.
We can solve for the objects' final velocity using the formula for momentum, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v .
Now here's where the trap is sprung: <em>we don't think about the equation</em>. This shows that the final velocity of the objects and the direction depends on both the mass of the objects <em>and</em> their initial velocity.
Basically, what if the 3 kg object is moving at 1 m/s and the 4 kg object is moving at –0.5 m/s? The objects would move to the <em>right</em> after the collision!
Do we know the velocity of these objects? No, right?
That means we <em>can't</em> determine the direction of their motion <u>unless we know their initial, pre-collision velocity</u>. This question is tricky because we look at the 4 kg vs. 3 kg and automatically assume the 4 kg object would dictate the direction of motion. That's not true. It depends on velocity as well.
I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

Without counting wind resistance, They will both reach the ground at the same time. If we apply the concept of kinematics, such as the equation vf^2=vi^2 + 2ad. This equation doesn't count how big or how heavy the mass is, it only focuses on how fast where they in the start and how far are both of them from the ground. So if they both have the same distance and same initial veloctity, then they will reach the ground at the same time.
For example, Try dropping a pen and a paper(Vertically) at the same height, you'll see they'll reach the ground at the same time.
If you count wind resistance, the heavier ball will hit the ground faster, because the air molecules will resist the lighter ball compared to the heavier ball.
