Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A. Increase in temperature is 0.0176 degree Celsius. b. the remaining energy will be lost.

Explanation:

The mass of copper block = 7kg

Initial speed = 4.0 m/s

Specific heat of copper = 0.385 j/g degree Celcius.

a. The increase in temperature is calculated below:

\text{Change in kinetic energy} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\=  \frac{1}{2} \times 2.7 \times 4^{2} = 21.6 J \\

85% of energy is converted into internal energy.

mc\DeltaT = 21.6 \times 0.85 \\2.7 \times 385 \times \Delta T = 21.6 \times 0.85 \\\Delta T = 0.0176 degree \ celsius

b. The remaining  15 per cent of kinetic energy will be lost and it will be changed into other forms.

A projectile is launched horizontally east at a speed of 29.4 M/s towards a wall 88.2 m away. What is the velocity of the projec
Drupady [299]

Time before projectile hits wall

= 88.2 m / 29.4 m/s = 3 seconds

Vertical velocity of projectile after three seconds

= 3*9.8 = 29.4 m/s

Horizontal velocity of projectile after three seconds, assuming no air resistance

= 29.4 m/s  (given)

Conclusion:

velocity of projectile when it hits the wall

= < 29.4, -29.4> m/s

= sqrt(29.4^2+29.4^2) m/s east-bound at 45 degrees below horizontal

= 41.58 m/s east-bound at 45 degrees below horizontal.

It requires 49 J of work to stretch an ideal very light spring from a length of 1.4 m to a length of 2.9 m. What is the value of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

44 N/m

Explanation:

The extension, e, of the spring = 2.9 m - 1.4 m = 1.5 m

The work needed to stretch a spring by <em>e</em> is given by

W = \frac{1}{2} ke^2

where <em>k</em> is spring constant.

k = \dfrac{2W}{e^2}

Using the appropriate values,

k = \dfrac{2\times 49\text{ J}}{1.5^2\text{ m}^2} = 43.55\ldots\text{ N/m} \approx 44\text{ N/m}

A small child gives a plastic frog a big push at the bottom of a slippery 2.0 meter long, 1.0 meter high ramp, starting it with
valentinak56 [21]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Because the ramp is slippery, ignore dynamic friction.
Let m =  the mass of the frog.
g = 9.8 m/s²

The KE (kinetic energy) at the bottom of the ramp is
KE₁ = (1/2)*(m kg)*(5 m/s)² = 12.5 m J

Let v =  the velocity at the top of the ramp.
The KE at the top of the ramp is
KE₂ = (1/2)*m*v²= 0.5 mv² J
The PE (potential energy) at the top of the ramp relative to the bottom is
PE₂ = (m kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(1 m) = 9.8m J

Conservation of energy requires that
KE₁ = KE₂ + PE₂
12.5m = 0.5mv² + 9.8m
0.5v² = 2.7
v = 2.324 m/s

Answer: 2.324 m/s
