Answer:

735 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Potential energy = weight × height

With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy = weight × height

Potential energy = 49 × 15

Potential energy = 735 J

Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J

A 600kg car is moving at 5 m/s to the right and elastically collided with a stationary 900 kg car. What is the velocity of the 9
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision is } 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Explanation:

It says “Momentum before the collision is equal to momentum after the collision.” Elastic Collision formula is applied to calculate the mass or velocity of the elastic bodies.

m_{1} v_{1}=m_{2} v_{2}

\mathrm{m}_{1} \text { and } \mathrm{m}_{2} \text { are masses of the object }

\mathrm{v}_{1} \text { velocity before the collision }

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision }

\mathrm{m}_{1}=600 \mathrm{kg}

\mathrm{m}_{2}=900 \mathrm{kg}

\text { Velocity before the collision } v_{1}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

600 \times 5=900 \times v_{2}

3000=900 \times v_{2}

\mathrm{v}_{2}=\frac{3000}{900}

\mathrm{v}_{2}=3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

\mathrm{v}_{2} \text { velocity after the collision is } 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Microwaves have a higher frequency than radio waves, so why is it that they don't travel faster?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: Energy requirement or consumption also increases as frequency goes higher. Hence, those low-frequency to mid-frequency waves are commonly referred to as radio waves and essentially, they have longer wavelengths. On the other hand, microwaves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.

Explanation: therefore that's why they don't travel faster.

calculate the height from which a body is released from rest if its velocity just before hitting the ground is 30 metre per seco
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

height is 45 metres

Explanation:

KE=PE

¹/²mv² = mgh

¹/²v² = gh

but v =30m/s

(30)² / 2 =10h

450=10h

h = 45m

Which of the following statements is true about earth's magnetic poles
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: b) they are the areas where Earth's magnetic field is weakest

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This is because for <em>classical physics</em>, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.  

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

Being the magnetic poles the places where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest. And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).
