Answer:

All of these answers are dependent upon the specific scenario, but here are some general answers.

1. An object with a greater height will have more potential energy.

2. Potential energy can be changed into kinetic energy as an object falls. It loses height (potential energy) and gains speed (kinetic energy).

3. Depends on what scenario your class had.

Calculate the force exerted by a mental ball having a mass of 70kg moving with speed of 20m/s>2

lord [1]

Answer:

F = 1400 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 70 kg

It is moving with an acceleration of 20 m/s². We need to find the force exerted by the ball.

Force is given by the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F = ma

$F=70\ kg\times \ 20m/s^2\\\\F=1400\ N$

So, the force of 1400 N is exerted by a metal ball.

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

Δy= 15 $\frac{m}{s}$ ×15 s + $\frac{1}{2}$ ×9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ ×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass 2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂ , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂ = ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂ = T₁ / T₂ , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .

A sports car accelerates from rest for 5 seconds reaching a velocity of 23.0 m/s.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

Since the body is from rest u = 0

From the question we have

$a = \frac{23 - 0}{5} = \frac{23}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
