Answer: fourth option 1.2 × 10³ joules

Explanation:

1) kinetic energy is calculated as the half of the product of the mass times the square of the speed:

=> KE = (1/2) m × (v)²

2) you know the mass after the collision and the speed so you have all the data fo find the numerical value of the expression for KE:

m = m1 + m2 = 200 kg + 250 kg = 450 kg

KE = (1/2) × 450 kg × (2.3 m/s)²  = 1,190.25 joules ≈ 1200 joules = 1.2 × 10³ joules, which is the last option of the list.

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!

A weight of 30.0 N is suspended from a spring that has a force constant of 220 N/m. The system is undamped and is subjected to a
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

F_0 = 393 N

Explanation:

As we know that amplitude of forced oscillation is given as

A = \frac{F_0}{ m(\omega^2 - \omega_0^2)}

here we know that natural frequency of the oscillation is given as

\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here mass of the object is given as

m = \frac{W}{g}

\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{220}{\frac{30}{9.81}}}

\omega_0 = 8.48 rad/s

angular frequency of applied force is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(10.5) = 65.97 rad/s

now we have

0.03 = \frac{F_0}{3.06(65.97^2 - 8.48^2)}

F_0 = 393 N

A block of concrete has a mass of 48kg a crane lifts the block to a height of 12m above the ground calculate the gravitational p
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

5760 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of block = 48 kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg

Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?

The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:

PE = mgh

PE = 48 × 10 × 12

PE = 5760 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J
