Answer:

Kinetic energy and potential energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v^2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared. Kinetic energy is usually measured in units of Joules (J); one Joule is equal to 1 kg m^2 / s^2.

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force, the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters. Notice that gravitational potential energy has the same units as kinetic energy, kg m^2/s^2. In fact, all energy has the same units, kg m^2/s^2, and is measured using the unit Joule (J).

Work is also measured with the unit Joule (J).

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$

Where:

$v^{2}$ : is the tangential speed = 9.50 m/s

r: is the distance = 6.00 m

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is:

$a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(9.50 m/s)^{2}}{6.00 m} = 15.04 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

4. The flow of electric charge is know as

vredina [299]

Answer:

electrons

Explanation:

An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 14,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

tatiyna

Sam and Sally are traveling aboard a spacecraft that approaches the asteroid Ceres within 14,000 kilometers. Sally will experience 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹ N of force.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

Given data

Mass of asteroid ,m₁ = 8.7 1020 kg

Mass of sally,m₂ = 67 kg

Gravitational constant,G = 6.6 × 10⁻¹¹ kg⁻² m²

Distance of seperation,R = 14,000 km

$\rm F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^ 2} \\\\ F = 6.6 \times 10^{-11 }\times \frac{8.71020 \times 67 }{(14,000)^2} \\\\F = 1.989 \times 10^{-11 } \ N$

Hence, the force Sally experiences will be 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹ N.

A 20-gram bullet traveling at 250 m/s strikes a block of wood that weighs 2 kg. With what velocity will the block and bullet mov

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg

velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s

mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg

velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0

Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)

0.02 x 250 + 2 x 0 = v(2 + 0.02)

5 + 0 = v(2.02)

5 = 2.02v

v = 5/2.02

v = 2.48 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s
