The potential energy of the car when it let go is 20,000 J.

The speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp is 20 m/s.

The given parameters;

mass of the car, m = 100 kg
height of the car, h = 20 m

The potential energy of the car is calculated as follows;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 100 x 10 x 20

P.E = 20,000 J

The speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp is calculated as follows;

$K.E = P.E\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 20} \\\\v = 20 \ m/s$

A force acting on a body causes a change in the momentum of the from 12 kgms-1 to 16 kgms-1 in 0.2 s. calculate the magnitude of

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question, you're given the following parameters:

Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s

Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s

Time t = 0.2 s

According to second law of motion,

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

That is

F = (P2 - P1)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = P2 - P1

Where Ft = impulse

Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula

Impulse = 16 - 12 = 4 kgm/s

The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.

Do quasars reside within or without side of galaxies?

sveticcg [70]

They almost entirely reside within galaxies because quasars are a subset of blackholes with a large and fast enough accretion disk to generate a beam of interstellar material perpendicular to itself. This typically only occurs in the largest black holes at the center of galaxies (supermassive blackholes) or at least stellar black holes---which still occur within galaxies because the material is necessary to form them.

When a person falls from certain height on cemented floor, he receives more injuries why

monitta

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)

If the mass of a

mixer [17]

Answer:

The final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration.

Explanation:

The second law of motion gives the relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object. It is given by :

$F=ma$

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to given condition, if the mass of a sliding block is tripled while a constant net force is applied. We need to find how much does the acceleration decrease.

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$
