Answer:

h = 0.25 [m]v = 3.26 [m/s]

Explanation: In order to solve this problem, we must remember that mechanical energy is defined as the sum of kinetic energy plus potential energy.

You are pushing a rock along level ground and making the rock speed up. How does the size of the force you exert on the rock com

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The forces are of the same magnitude just opposite directions

Explanation:

Newton's Third law tells us that if body A exerts a force on body B, then B exerts an equal but opposite force on body B. so as you continue to push the rock causing it to accelerate, the rock also continues to push back at you by an equal force in the opposite direction.

Why does a lorry travelling at 30mph have more kinetic energy than a car travelling at the same velocity?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Because it has more mass

Explanation:

To understand this, think about the equation of kinetic energy

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$

Kinetic energy depends on both the velocity (v) as well as the mass (m).

Because a lorry is bigger and heavier than a car, it will have more mass. With more mass, at the same velocity the lorry with have more kinetic energy.
