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 spring with a spring constant of 4 N/m is stretched by Sarah's dog until extended by 2 m. How much elastic potential energy is
azamat

Hi there!

Recall the equation for spring potential energy:

PE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = extension of spring from equilibrium (m)

PE = Potential Energy (J)

Plug in the given values:

PE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(2^2) = \boxed{8 J}

Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs m = 300 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Velocity of snowball v = 10 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

   F = \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

 F = \frac{mv}{1}

Where dt = 1 sec

 F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10

F = 3 N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

F = 3 \times 2

F = 6 N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

lorasvet [3.4K]
The solution for this problem:
The distance in mega parsec is equal to recession velocity / H, where h is equal to 50 mega parsec.The explanation for this is:1 parsec = 2.E+05 AU, nearly. 50 mega parsec = 1. E+13 AU, nearly. 1 mega means E+06 (million).

While seeds are forming, another plant part forms around them. Animals eat this part and carry the seeds to a new spot.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) fruit</em>

Explanation:

Both the gymnosperm and the angiosperms plants produce seed. Seeds are an essential part of reproduction in plants.

After fertilization has occurred, the ripened ovule is the part which turns into a seed. The size of the seeds depends on the type if plant.

After fertilization, the ovary forms the fruit. As the ovule is present in the ovule hence after fertilization, the seed which was made from the ovule gets enclosed in the fruit which was made from the ovary.

1.5-m length of straight wire experiences a maximum force of 1.2 N when in a uniform magnetic field that is 1.8 T. 1) What curre
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

 I = 0.44 A

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a conductor is given by the expression

       F = I L x B

Where bold letters indicate vectors, I is the current, L is the vector in the direction of the current, and B is the magnetic field

Since the force is maximum, the wire must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, therefore

        F = I L B sin 90

        I = F / L B

Let's calculate

        I = 1.2 / 1.5 1.8

        I = 0.44 A
