Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

What is the formula for kinetic energy
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The formula for kinetic energy is K.E. = 1/2 mv 2 , where "m" stands for mass and "v" stands for velocity. Kinetic energy is typically measured in units of Joules, and 1 Joule is equal to 1 kilogram-meters squared per second squared.

What is the frequency heard by a person driving at 15 m/s toward a factory whistle emitting a
zmey [24]

Answer:

835.29 Hz

Explanation:

When moving towards the source of sound, frequency will be given by

f*=f(vd+v)/v

Where f is the freqiency of the source, vd is the driving speed, v is the speed of sound in air, f* is the inkown frequency when moving forward.

Substituting 800 Hz for f, 340 m/s for v and 15 m/s for vd then

f*=800(15+340)/340=835.29411764704 Hz

Rounded off, the frequency is approximately 835.29 Hz

nan moved 18m to the right and then another 22m to the right if the motion takes 20 seconds what is nans velocity
IrinaVladis [17]
Step 1: list known info

distance(change in position (Δx))= 18m+22m= 40m
time= 20 seconds

Step 2 :solve for velocity

velocity= Δx÷time
v= 40/20= 2m/s

Answer: the velocity is 2 meters per a second (m/s)
