Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

Because the soles of your shoes have cleats, you can exert a forward force of 100 N even on slippery ice. A 10-kg picnic cooler

Answer:

you must throw 3 snowballs

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment

Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator

          p₀ = n m v₀

Where n is the snowball number

Final. When the refrigerator moves

         pf = (n m + M) v

The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal

        n m v₀ = (n m + M) v

        n m (v₀ - v) = M v

        n = M/m    v/(vo-v)

Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton

          F = m a

          a = F / m

The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm

          v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x

          v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1

          v₁ = 14.14 m / s

This is the initial speed for the crash

         v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s

  Let's calculate

           n = M/m   v/ (v₀-v)

           n = 10/1   3 / (14.14 -3)

          n = 2.7 balls

you must throw 3 snowballs
