Answer:

The force the rock exerts on Sarah =#is 65 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Sarah's weight = 392 N

The force with which Sarah pushes the rock = 65 N

The mass of the rock = 56 kg

The weight of the rock = The mass of the rock × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The weight of the rock = 56 kg ×9.81 m/s² = 549.36 N

Given that the force Sarah applies to push the rock = 65 N, then by Newton's third law of motion which states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, the force that the rock exert on Sarah is equal an opposite to the force Sarah is applying

Therefore, the force the rock exerts on Sarah = 65 N (in the opposite direction).

Both a 3 kg book and 5 kg bowling ball are sitting still on the floor. What is true about the kinetic energy of the objects? Exp

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy for both objects is the same.

Explanation:

While in other cases the kinetic energies of two objects that have different masses might be different depending on their velocities, in this case both the 3 kg book and 5 kg bowling ball have the same kinetic energy.

This is because kinetic energy is calculated using the formula: K = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m represents the mass and v represents the velocity of the object.

Since the book and the bowling ball are sitting still on the floor, their velocities are zero. Hence, when we plug in 0 for velocity into the equation for kinetic energy, we will get that the kinetic energy is 0 for the book and the bowling ball.

Hope this helps!

Hello.

BEVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a more promising transportation technology for the future because they reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as CO2 making it more 'green.' The second question is your opinion, in mine no, they should not be required but they should at least be considering.
