We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.
repeated mesurement can reduce the error
it is true
if you take any mesurement repeatedly and the average is taken, the error will be less
-- Momentum is (mass) x (speed).
Object B has 1.5 times as much momentum as Object A has.
-- Kinetic energy is (1/2) x (mass) x (speed) .
Object B has 1.5 times as much kinetic energy as Object A has.
-- If they would both stop long enough to get on the scale,
Object B would weigh 1.5 times as much as Object A does.
<span>An automobile with a mass of 1450 kg is parked on a moving flatbed railcar; the flatbed is 1.5 m above the ground. The railcar has a mass of 38,500 kg and is moving to the right at a constant speed of 8.7 m/s on a frictionless rail...
