Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg

Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Potential energy is U=mgh

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy  U=mgh

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

g=9.81m/s^2

h=60m

So, the potential energy

U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.

A machine, modeled as a simple spring-mass system, oscillates in simple harmonic motion. Its acceleration is measured to have an
ANTONII [103]

a=5000\dfrac{mm}{s}=5\dfrac{m}{s}

f=10{Hz}\Longrightarrow t=\dfrac{1}{10}s

a_{max}=\dfrac{50\frac{m}{s}}{\frac{s}{10}}\cdot\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{50\dfrac{m}{s^2}}{\sqrt{2}}\approx\boxed{35.4\dfrac{m}{s^2}}

Hope this helps.

Please help me answer the following question!
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

P = 0

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the quentity of motion contained in a body. Mathematically, it can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. So, in order to determine the Volkswagen Beetle, at rest, we can use the simple formula, as follows:

where,

P = Momentum of Volkswagen Beetle = ?

m = Mass of Volkswagen Beetle = 750 kg

v = Velocity of Volkswagen Beetle = 0 m/s (since, it is at rest)

Therefore,

P =
