The potential energy of a 35 kg cannon ball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?

From the information given, cannon ball weighs 40 kg and has a potential energy of 14000 J.

We need to find its height.

We will use the formula P.E = mgh

Therefore h = P.E / mg

where P.E is the potential energy,

m is mass in kg,  

g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h is the height of the object's displacement in meters.

h = P.E. / mg

h = 14000 / 40 × 9.8

h = 14000 / 392

h = 35.7

Therefore the canon ball was 35.7 meters  high.

A motorcycle of 170 kg is moving with a velocity 25m/ . Calculate the kinetic energy
topjm [15]

Answer: 53125joules

Explanation: The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2.

So we would have

1/2[(170)(25x25)]=53125

If a cup of water has holes in it than why does no water come out when when it is falling?
quester [9]

Because the acceleration of gravity is the acceleration of gravity.
It doesn't matter what the mass of a falling object is, and it  doesn't
matter whether a falling object is solid or liquid.  ALL falling objects
fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed, and hit the
ground at the same time.

If there was no air in the way, then a feather, a school bus, and a
battleship would accelerate at the same rate, fall together and hit
the ground at the same time.

When you drop a cup full of water that has holes in it, the cup and
the water fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed,
and hit the floor at the same time.  Then, THAT's the time to go
and get the mop.

Nerve impulses in a human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. Suppose a man accidentally stubs his toe. About how much time
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

t = 0.018 s  

Explanation:

given,

nerve impulse in human body travel at a speed of  = 100 m/s

height of the man = 1.80 m

time taken by the impulse to travel from foot to brain = ?

distance = speed × time                      

1.80 = 100 × t                                              

t =\dfrac{1.80}{100}                                    

t = 0.018 s                            

hence, the time taken by the nerve to reach brain from toe is 0.018 s
