<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

Calculate the increase in potential energy of a 60.0-kg man who climbs a ladder 10.0 meters high
andriy [413]

Potential energy = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

PE = (60 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (10 m)

PE = (60 · 9.8 · 10) · (kg · m²/s² )

PE = 5,880 joules

7. A box is pulled straight across the floor at a constant speed. It is pulled with a horizontal force of 48 N.
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a)Taking into consideration Newton’s second law, we know that

Net_Force = mass * acceleration

Since the box is pulled at constant speed, the acceleration is equal to zero.

This means that

Net_Force  = 0 N

b) Force of friction

The net force is equal to the sum of all forces,

Net_Force   = Force_applied - Friction

We found that Net_Force  = 0, which means

Friction = Force_applied = 48 N

c) If the box comes to a stop. And the applied force becomes zero, the friction force becomes also zero.

Friction  = 0 N

Which box has a larger upward force (normal force) acting on it?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

I makes the most sense in math. if you put a 3 in the m box it will be the same. So all they did is take out the 3 in the m box

On a frozen pond, a 8.54-kg sled is given a kick that imparts to it an initial speed of ð£0=1.87 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:2.05 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sled m=8.54 kg

initial speed u=0.187 m/s

coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.087

According to work-energy theorem work done by all the forces is change in Kinetic energy

W_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

\mu _kmg\times d=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.54\times 1.87^2 ,where d= distance moved

0.087\times 8.54\times 9.8\times d=14.93

d=\frac{14.93}{7.281}

d=2.05 m
