294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

The mass of a rocket decreases as it burns through its fuel. If the rocket engine produces constant force (thrust), how does the
Serjik [45]

Answer:

it increases-

Explanation:

When the mass of a rocket decreases as it burns through its fuel and the force ( thrust) is constant then by newtons second law of motion

F= ma  here F is constant this means that   ma= constant

⇒ m= F /a    this implies that mass is inversely proportional to  acceleration.

its means when the mass decreases the acceleration must increase. hence the acceleration increases

The mass of a large car is 1000 kg. How much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/sec2?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 3000 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of large car = 1000 kg.

Acceleration of the car = 3 m/sec2

Force = ?

Recall that force is the product of mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves.

Thus, Force = Mass x Acceleration

Force = 1000 kg x 3 m/sec2

= 3000 Newton

Thus, 3000 Newton of force would be required to accelerate the car
