Hi there!

Recall the equation for gravitational potential energy:
$GPE = U = mgh$

m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

We are given the GPE, so we can solve for mass:
$86000 = m * 2000 * 9.8$

Solve for m:
$m = \frac{86000}{2000(9.8)} = \boxed{4.39 kg}$

Answer:

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum

$m_1=59+220=279kg$

$m_2=2.1kg$

$U_1=12m/s$

$U_2=-44m/s$

$m_1U_1+m_2U_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\\frac{278\times 12-2.1\times 44}{279+2.1}=V\\\\V=11.58m/s$

A car passes point “A” and then 120 meters later. It’s velocity was measured 21 m/s. If it’s acceleration was constant at 0.853

Norma-Jean [14]

Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

where $v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely; $a$ is the acceleration; and $\Delta x$ is the change in position.

So we have

$\left(21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-{v_i}^2=2\left(0.853\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(120\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v_i\approx\boxed{15.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)

A car travels 2155.0m in 195.9s. What is the car's average speed?

inna [77]

Average speed of the car is 11 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
Here, distance = 2155 m and time = 195.9 s

Speed of the car = 2155/195.9 = 11 m/s

Which statement best describes metallic bonding

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It's a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal bars. It can also be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions
