Answer:

The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is found using this formula:

  • KE = 1/2mv²
  • where KE = kinetic energy (J), m = mass (kg), and v = velocity (m/s)

We can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if the speed was increased by 4 times, then the kinetic energy would get increased by a factor of 16.

The velocity just before the ball hits the ground can be found by the equation:

  • √(2gh)

Let's substitute h = 10 m and h = 40 m into this formula.

  • √(2g(10))
  • √(2g(40))

We can see that the velocity increases by a factor of 4 (10 m → 40 m).

Therefore, this means that the kinetic energy would also be increased by a factor of (4)² = 16. Thus, the answer is D) The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.

Interchangeably means​

Answer:

Interchangeable is something that can be used in the same manner as something else without any important differences.

or in a more simple way

something that can be exchange

For example when two sweaters look almost the same and you could easily wear either one with a particular skirt, this is an example of when the sweaters can be worn interchangeably.

Would the springs inside a bathroom scale be more compressed or less compressed if you weighed yourself in an elevator that was
Ber [7]
More compressed. moving up = apparent weight (i.e., your norma force) is greater. this means you’ll weighr more and push those springs down even more than you would at rest.

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?
hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

This question is related to inertia:
luda_lava [24]
The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.
