No, momentum is conserved so:
momentum before=momentum after
it is C. 100 kg m/s
GPE = 78,380 J
w = 39,240 N
First list what you know. You know the elephants mass and it’s height. You also know gravity on Earth. I will use g = 9.81.
m = 4,000 kg
h = 20 m
g = 9.81 m/s^2
You need to find the elephants weight. Weight = mass x gravity
w = mg
w = (4000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)
w = 39,240 N (N = newtons)
Now, knowing the elephants weight, you can calculate its GPE.
Gravitational Potential Energy = weight x height
GPE = wh
GPE = (39,240N)(20m)
GPE = 78,380 J (J = joules)
Answer:
1. True
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd law states that the net force exerted on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
(1)
where
is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is the acceleration
Furthermore, we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity:
So let's now analyize the three statements:
1. A net force causes velocity to change: TRUE. Net force (means non-zero) causes a non-zero acceleration, which means that the velocity of the object must change.
2. If an object has a velocity, then we can conclude that there is a net force on the object: FALSE. The fact that the object has a velocity does not imply anything about its acceleration: in fact, if its velocity is constant, then its acceleration is zero, which would mean that the net force on the object is zero. So this statement is not necessarly true.
3. Accelerations are caused by the presence of a net force: TRUE. This is directly implied by eq.(1): the presence of the net force results in the object having a non-zero acceleration.
Explanation:
acceleration = change in velocity / change in time
a = v2-v1
- - - - - -
t
V1 = 0 ( since she stopped)
V2 = 9 m/s
t =15s
a = 9 - 0

Answer:
Commutator is a ring which reverse the direction of current in AC circuit so that the coil connected to it will continuous to move in the same direction.
Explanation:
In motors there exist a coil which is rotated due to torque of magnetic field when current flow through it. Since AC current is used to run the motor so we know that AC current changes its direction after half cycle.
So here commutator plays an important role to reverse the direction of current after every half cycle so that the current goes in same direction always into the coil.
This will produce a constant direction torque on the coil so that it will rotate in same sense always.
So commutator role is to provide same direction current to the coil by reversing its direction after every half cycle
