Answer:

At the top

K.E = 0

P.E = 981 J

Mechanical energy is conserved

P.E is maximum

K.E = 0

At the middle

K.E = 981 J

P.E = 0

Mechanical energy is conserved

K.E is maximum

P.E = 0

At the bottom

K.E = 0

P.E = 981 J

Mechanical energy is conserved

K.E = 0

P.E is maximum

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5kg

H = 20 m

t = 7 s

The earth exerts a force of 500 newtons on an object what is the mass of the object in kg

guajiro [1.7K]

Weight (that's what the 500 N is) = (mass) x (gravity) .

On Earth, gravity = about 9.8 m/s² , so

   500 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) .

Divide each side by 9.8 m/s²:

   Mass = (500 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

=    51 kg (rounded) .

A dragster and driver together have mass 931.9 kg . The dragster, starting from rest, attains a speed of 25.7 m/s in 0.57 s. Fin

Mama L [17]

Answer:

45.09 m/s^2

Explanation:

from the question we were given the following parameters

mass = 931.9 kg

initial velocity (V1) = 0 m/s ( since it started from rest )

final velocity (V2) = 25.7 m/s

time (t) = 0.57 s

The average acceleration is given by:

a = ( V2 - V1 ) / t

therefore

a = (25.7 - 0) / 0.57 = 45.09 m/s^2

Usually, when the temperture is increased l, what will happen to the ratevof dissolving?

pochemuha

<span>When temperature is increased, the rate of dissolving increases. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and solvent molecules is high thereby increasing their contact. An example is mixing powdered sugar to the water. When you add water to the sugar, the dissolving process is slow. However, when you increase the temperature of the water by boiling it, the sugar dissolves immediately. </span>
