The free fall acceleration due to the Earth's gravity will always be 9.8m/s^2. So, if this question is taking place on Earth, then the acceleration of an object in free fall is 9.8m/^2.
20/.25 is 80, so the car will travel 80 minutes.
Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer : ri ( thickness of wire ) = 14.167 m
Explanation:
attached below is a detailed solution
using the given data to determine the thickness of wire
-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.
If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy. So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.
In fact, this isn't even a "result". The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.
If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out. If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.
