Gravitational potential energy =
(mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (5.8 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2.5 m)
= 142.1 Joules (C)
-- the big flash of light and heat coming out of the head
of a match when it gets hot enough;
-- the explosion of a tiny bit of gunpowder that can send
a bullet many miles;
-- the energy captured from a few drops of burning gasoline
that moves a car;
-- the energy in the carbohydrates you eat that is used
to move you around;
The question is incomplete. The mass of the object is 10 gram and travelling at a speed of 2 m/s.
Solution:
It is given that mass of object before explosion is,m = 10 g
Speed of object before explosion, v = 2 m/s
Let
be the masses of the three fragments.
Let
be the velocities of the three fragments.
Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,


So the x- component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion is,

∴ 
Answer:
steel
Explanation:
steel because steel has more power to hold something up, where bricks arent as stable
