Given:

mass of the box = 200kg
velocity of the moving box = 5m/s
height of the box = 1m

Required:

The comparison of the kinetic energy and potential energy

Solution:

Kinetic energy can be calculated using the formula:

KE = 0.5(mass)(velocity)²
KE = 0.5(200kg)(5m/s)²
KE = 2500 Joules

Potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

PE = (mass)(gravity)(height)
PE = (200kg)(9.8m/s²)(1m)
PE = 1960 Joules

At the given conditions, the kinetic energy is greater than the potential energy. This means that the total energy is spent to move horizontally rather than vertically.

A river flows due east with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to earth. The river is 80.0 m wide. A woman starts at the southern bank
babymother [125]

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

As she travels at the rate of 5m/s due north, the amount of time it would take for her to cross the 80m wide river would be

t = 80 / 5 = 16 seconds

This is also the time it takes for the river to push her to the east side at the rate of 3m/s. So after 16 seconds, she would reach the opposite point at a horizontal distance from her starting of

s = 16*3 = 48 m

Which is part of an AC generator?
Katen [24]

There is no such thing as an AC Generator, if its a generator, its DC. I think you are talking about an AC Alternator, in which case the answer would be -wrong answer, deleted-
