Answer:

Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the potential energy of each object. This can be obtained as follow:

For stone:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 3 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 15 × 10 × 3

PE = 450 J

For water:

Mass (m) = 10 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 9 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 10 × 10 × 9

PE = 900 J

For ball:

Mass (m) = 1 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 20 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 1 × 10 × 20

PE = 200 J

For box of books:

Mass (m) = 25 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) = 2 m

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 25 × 10 × 2

PE = 500 J

Summary:

Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy

Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J

Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J

Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J

Box of books >>> 500 J

Arranging from greatest to least, we have:

Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy

Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J

Box of books >>> 500 J

Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J

Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J

Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball

C) W = - 190 J

Explanation:

Notation

Wf = work done by the friction force (unknown)

Ff = force of the friction

d = distance travelled by the box = (2 pi 1.82 m) = 11.435 m

Suppose that a nascar race car is moving to the right with a constant velocity of +86 m/s. What is the average acceleration of t
Stels [109]

(a) As the car is moving with constant velocity, it means the rate change of velocity does not change, therefore the average acceleration of the car is zero.

Thus, there is no acceleration, when velocity is constant.

(b) Average acceleration,

a =\frac{ v-u}{\Delta t}

Here, v is final velocity and u is the initial velocity and \Delta t is the time interval.

As twelve seconds later, the car is halfway around the track and traveling in the opposite direction with the same speed, therefore

a =\frac{ -86 \ m/s-86 \ m/s }{12 \ s} = - 14 .3 \ m/s^2

Thus, the average acceleration of the car is 14 .3 \ m/s^2 in the direction to the left.

Define relative density​
weeeeeb [17]

Hello There!

Relative density is another word for specific gravity. Relative density is comparing the density of one thing to the density of another. Most of the time, you look at the density of water so we look at the density of an object relative to the density of water.

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Over [174]
B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s  + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s  

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.
