The definition of mechanical energy allows to find the results for the questions about the energy changes in the movement of the system are:

     1) The midpoint of the path. Em = 784 J

     2) Lowest point of the trajectory Em = 784 J

     3) Acceleration of gravity is: g = 9.8 m/s²

     4) The bowling ball has more kinetic energy as its height decreases.

<h3>Mechanical energy.</h3>

Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy due to motion and the potential energies of the body. In the case of no friction the energy remains constant at all points, this is one of the most important principles of physics.

          Em = K + U

          Em = ½ m v² + m g h

Where Em is the mechanical energy, K and U the kinetic and potential energy, respectively, m the mass, v the velocity. G the acerleacion of gravity and h the height where the body is.

In this case when the ball is on top of the building of height y = 40 m, all its energy is potential.

           Em = U = m g h

           Em = 2 9.8 40

            Em = 784 J

when the body falls it begins to acquire speed, therefore its kinetic energy increases and the height decreases, therefore its potential energy decreases, but the sum of the two remains constant.

1) Let's calculate the energy at the midpoint of the path.

They indicate that the speed is v= 19.8 m/s and the height is y2 = 20m

         Em = ½ m v² + m g h

         em = ½ 2 19.8 ² + 2 9.8 20

         em = 392 + 392

         Em = 784 J

We see that the kinetic and potential energy have the same value and the mechanical energy maintains its initial value.

2) We calculate the energy at the lowest point of the trajectory.

They indicate that the speed is v= 28 m/s and = height is zero h=0

Let's calculate

          Em = ½ m v² + m g h

          Em = ½ 2 28² + 0

          Em = 784 J

At this point, all energy is kinetic and mechanical energy is conserved.

3) The acceleration of gravity comes from Newton's second law where the force is the universal attraction.

           F = G \frac{Mm}{r^2}

           F= ma

           \G frac{Mm}{R^2}

In the case of a body near thesurfacee of the distance of the radius of the planet and the acceleration is called gravity

            g = a = G \frac{M}{R_e^2 }

            g = \frac{ 6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ 5.98 \ 10^{24}}{6.37 \ 10^6 }

            g = 9.81  m/s²

4) The bowling ball has more kinetic energy as its height decreases, at the point where the height is half the kinetic and potential energy are equal.

In conclusion using the definition of mechanical energy we can find the results for the questions about the energy changes in the movement of the system are:

     1) The midpoint of the path. Em = 784 J

     2) Lowest point of the trajectory Em = 784 J

     3) Acceleration of gravity is: g = 9.8 m/s²

     4) The bowling ball has more kinetic energy as its height decreases.

The momentum of a falling rock is found to be 200 kg m/s. What is the mass of the rock if it falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

p=m*v

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}

\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=m

The units of meters per second (m/s) cancel.

\frac{200 \ kg}{5.0 } =m

40 \ kg = m

The falling rock has a mass of <u>40 kilograms.</u>

Stars within the halo move in random orbits that extend above and below the disk of the galaxy, while stars in the disk move in
Blizzard [7]
<span>Answer: Spherical Distribution Feedback: Correct The stars in the halo component have highly-inclined random orbits that orbit the center of our Galaxy. The stars within the halo would therefore make up a spherical distribution of stars surrounding the center of the Galaxy. In comparison, the disk stars move in elliptical orbits, which are nearly circular and are confined to the disk of the Galaxy. Disk stars therefore have very small inclinations and do not move above or below the plane of the Galactic disk.</span>

1. Impulse is the product of force and distance. True or false?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Impulse, I = F.t

  The statement impulse is the product of Force and distance is false.

2. F = m g

   Force necessary to lift the object depends on the mass of the object.

   statement 2 is false.

3. Joule is equal to Newton times meter.

    Statement 3 is false.

4. Work done to lift an object is correct statement.

   Statement 4 is true.

5. Kinetic energy of an object is due to motion.

  Statement 5 is false.

6. Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

     If velocity is doubled, stopping distance is quadrupled.

    Statement 6 is false.
