Answer:

PE = 882 J

Explanation:

Through the International System we know that the gravity of the earth is 9.8 m/s², so...

Data:

  • m = 45 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 2 m
  • PE = ?

Formula:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=45\ kg*\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*2\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=882\ J}}}

The potential energy of the sled is <u>882 Joules</u>.

Greetings.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Magnitude of the force between the charges is F = 1.92×10^20N

Explanation:

Given the magnitude of force according to coulombs law

F =K[(q1*q2)/r2]

Where q1 and q2 are the charges

r is the distance between the charges

K is the coulombs constant

Substituting the given values, we have;

F = 8.98×10^9 × 1.5×10^6 × 3.2×10^4/1.5²

F = 43.1×10^19/2.25

F = 19.16×10^19N

F = 1.92×10^20N

Two cars are traveling along perpendicular roads, car A at 40 mi/hr, car B at 60 mi/hr. At noon, when car A reaches the intersec
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\frac{dD}{dt} = -4 miles/hour

negative sign indicates that the distance is decreasing with time

Explanation:

Let at any time t after noon that is 12 p.m.  

distance traveled by car A = 40t

distance traveled by car B = 90-60t

then distance between the two cars at time t

D^2= (40t)^2+(90-60t)^2............1

also, at time 1 p.m.

distance D^2= (40\times1)^2+(90-60\times1)^2

D=50 Km

differentiating equation 1 w.r.t. t we get

2D\frac{dD}{dt}= 2\times40t\times40+2(90-60t)(-60)

put t= 1 and D= 50 we get

2\times50\frac{dD}{dt}= 3200\times1-3600\times1

\frac{dD}{dt} = -4 miles/hour

How does the egg drop project apply to newtons 3 laws of motion
iren2701 [21]
The reason why it relates to the newtons 3 laws of motion because the first law of motion states that every object will stay at rest unless it's moved by an unbalanced force which is your hand. The second one states that <span> the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force meaning it's used by the equation that is commonly used for which is F=M*A. The way it relates to the second law because you are adding force some way or another, the mass is the egg and the acceleration is the drop of the egg while it free falls. And the last one, for a reaction there is always an equal or opposite reaction and the opposite reaction is the floor because it's going against the egg causing it to crack. If it was with the egg, it would have a soft, smooth landing.</span>
