Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>a_c</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>v</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>r</em>

<em>v</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>sqrt</em><em>*</em><em>a_c</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>r</em><em>*</em>

<em>v</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>sqrt</em><em> </em><em>*</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>*</em><em> </em>

<em>v</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>×</em><em>sqrt</em><em> </em><em>*</em><em>2</em><em>*</em>

<em>v</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s</em>

A crane raises a crate with a mass of 150 kg to a height of 20 m. Given that
Virty [35]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 29,400 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

E_P= m \times g \times h

The object has a mass of 150 kilograms and is raised to a height of 20 meters. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second.

  • m= 150 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²
  • h= 20 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_p= 150 \ kg \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 20 \ m

Multiply the three numbers and their units together.

E_p=1470 \ kg*m/s^2 \times 20 m

E_p=29400 \ kg*m^2/s^2

Convert the units.

1 kilogram meter square per second squared (1 kg *m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joule (J). Our answer of 29,400 kg*m²/s² is equal to 29,400 Joules.

E_p= 29,400 \ J

The crate has <u>29,400 Joules</u> of potential energy.

Why can acceleration include only a change in direction?
Fynjy0 [20]

First we shall look at some terms:

Velocity - frequency of change of an objects position.

Acceleration - frequency of change of an objects velocity


Since velocity covers both change in direction and speed, we can asume that the answer is B, not because it's the only one we worked with, but because the others don't make any sense:

A - this is not correct, because a chnage in direction can be done withough a change in speed.

C - The scientific definition of acceleration does include speed, and this is not a reasonable answer.

D - Velocity can change, unlike said in the sentence.


Hope it helped,

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

For A + B: the net force is 100 N = (mA + mB)*a

a = 100/(20 + 5) = 100/25 = 4 m/s²

For A, the net force = mA * a = 20 * 4 = 80 N
