a brick is suspended above the ground at a height of 6.6 m. it has a mass of 5.3 kg. what is the potential energy of the brick

1 answer:

8 0

The formula for potential energy is
E(p) = mgh

(Mass x gravity x height)

Therefore energy = (5.3)(9.8)(6.6)
= 342.8 J

How did I get 9.8?
9.8 is the constant for gravity

A kite is 100m above the ground. if there are 200m of string out what is the angle between the string and the horizontal? (assum

jeka57 [31]

Answer : The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation: Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

= 100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

Two automobiles traveling at right angles to each other collide and stick together. Car A has a mass of 1200 kg and had a speed

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$v_{B0}=15.73 m/s$

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of momentum. The initial momentum is equal to the final momentum:

x-coordinate

$p_{0x}=p_{fx}$

$m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cx}$

$m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}cos(40)$ (1)

y-coordinate

$p_{0y}=p_{fy}$

$m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cy}$

$m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}sin(40)$ (2)

We can divide equations (2) and (1):

$\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=\frac{sin(40)}{cos(40)}$

$\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=\frac{m_{A}v_{A0}}{m_{B}}*tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=\frac{1200*25}{1600}*tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=15.73 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

Diane swim 5 kilometers against the current in the same amout of time it took her to swim 15 kilometers with the current . The r

lidiya [134]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.

't' represents time in hrs.

Using the formula:

Distance = speed 's' x time 't'

-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,

5= (s-2)t

t= 5/(s-2)

->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,

15= (s+2) t

t= 15/(s+2)

equating eq(1) and (2)

5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)

5s + 10 = 15s - 30

40= 10s

s= 40/10

s=4

Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr
