The summit of Mount Everest is 8848.0 m above sea level, making it the highest summit on Earth. In 1953, Edmund Hillary was the

first person to reach the summit. Suppose upon reaching there, Hillary slid a rock with a 45.0 g mass down the side of the mountain. If the rock’s speed was 27.0 m/s when it was 8806.0 m above sea level, how much work was done on the rock by air resistance?

The work done on the rock by air resistance is 39019.68 J

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 45 g
  • Velocity (v) = 27 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8848 m
  • Work done =?

<h3>Definition of work </h3>

Work is simply defined as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force.

Work = Force × distance

From the question given above, we can see that height is involved. Thus,

Work = potential energy

Potential energy = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

Potential energy = mgh

Therefore,

Work = mgh

With the above formula, we can obtain the work done.

<h3>How to determine the work done </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 45 g = 45 / 1000 = 0.45 Kg
  • Height (h) = 8848 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Work done =?

Work = mgh

Work = 0.45 × 9.8 × 8848

Work = 39019.68 J

A car and a truck are moving next to each other on the highway. The truck has a mass of 910 kg and the car’s mass is 227 kg. IF
eimsori [14]

Answer:

<h2>the car must move with the speed</h2><h2>v = 72.16 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that the momentum of the car and truck is same

so as per the formula of momentum we have

P = mv

so we have

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

so we will have

910 \times 18 = 227 v

v = 72.16 m/s

So the car must move with the speed

v = 72.16 m/s

Object A has a mass of 100 grams. Object B has a mass of 150 grams. They are both traveling at the same velocity. What can you c
Scilla [17]
-- 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.
