Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

What is one of the principles of charges in a conductor?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

A conductor allows free charges to move about within it. The electrical forces around a conductor will cause free charges to move around inside the conductor until static equilibrium is reached. Any excess charge will collect along the surface of a conductor. Conductors with sharp corners or points will collect more charge at those points.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what

Sphinxa [80]

Let's be clear: The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.
