Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1376 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 8 × 10 × 17.2

We have the final answer as

<h3>1376 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Explanation:

potential energy = mgh

potential energy = 8 * 10 * 17.2

potential energy = 1376 joules

Block 1, of mass m1 = 1.30 kg , moves along a frictionless air track with speed v1 = 27.0 m/s . It collides with block 2, of mas
Dennis_Churaev [7]

(A) The total initial momentum of the system is

(1.30 kg) (27.0 m/s) + (23.0 kg) (0 m/s) = 35.1 kg•m/s

(B) Momentum is conserved, so that the total momentum of the system after the collision is

35.1 kg•m/s = (1.30 kg + 23.0 kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the speed of the combined blocks. Solving for <em>v</em> gives

<em>v</em> = (35.1 kg•m/s) / (24.3 kg) ≈ 1.44 m/s

(C) The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is

1/2 (1.30 kg + 23.0 kg) (1.44 m/s)² ≈ 25.4 J

and before the collision, it is

1/2 (1.30 kg) (27.0 m/s)² ≈ 474 J

so that the change in kinetic energy is

∆<em>K</em> = 25.4 J - 474 J ≈ -449 J

A car is travelling west at 22.2 m/s when it accelerated for 0.80 s to the west at 2.68 m/s2. Calculate the car's final velocity
Paul [167]

Answer:

24.34 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motions takes the form:

v = u + at

where,

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity (given as 22.2 m/s)

a = acceleration (given as 2.68m/s²)

t = time elapsed during acceleration (given as 0.80s)

since we are told that the the acceleration is in the direction of the intial velocity, we can simply substitute the known values into the equation above:

v = u + at

v = 22.2 + (2.68) (0.8)

v = 24.34 m/s
