Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline =  40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe = \frac{40}{5}

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore  

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

An initially motionless test car is accelerated to 115 km/h in 8.58 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact wi
hoa [83]

Answer:

a)       a = 3.72 m / s², b)    a = -18.75 m / s²

Explanation:

a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision

             v = v₀ + at

as part of rest the v₀ = 0

             a = v / t

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)

              v = 31.94 m / s

              v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s

l

et's calculate

             a = 31.94 / 8.58

             a = 3.72 m / s²

b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

            I = Δp

            F Δt = m v_f - m v₀

            F = \frac{m ( v_f - v_o)}{t}

            F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815

            F = m (-18.75)

Having the force let's use Newton's second law

            F = m a

            -18.75 m = m a

             a = -18.75 m / s²
