Answer:
Ep = 0.6095 [J]
Explanation:
As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)
g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]
h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]
m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]
Ep = potential energy [J]
Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]
Answer:
0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of initial momentum equals the sum of final momentum
Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity
where 
is the common velocity, 
and 
are velocities of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively, 
and 
are masses of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively.
Substituting 125 g for and 85 g for , 7.33 m/s , -11.9 m/s for then
Therefore, the velocity of single unit is 0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction
<span>It exhibits constant velocity motion.</span>
