PE=mgh
Where 'g' is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s^2)
If you're solving for m, you can change the equation to be (PE/gh)=m.
m=(36J/18m*9.81m/s^2)
m=.2kg

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg wooden block with a velocity of 909 m/s and embeds itself in the block which fies off its sta
serg [7]

Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

A runner runs 4875 ft in 6.85 minutes. what is the runners average speed in miles per hour?
yanalaym [24]

The average speed can be easily calculated by taking the ratio of distance and time. That is:

average speed = distance / time

 

so calculating:

average speed = 4875 ft / 6.85 minutes

<span>average speed = 711.68 ft / min</span>

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across
Rina8888 [55]

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s

The hammer throw was one of the earliest Olympic events. In this event, a heavy ball attached to a chain is swung several times
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Given that

T= 0.43 s

Radius of the ball path's , r=2.1 m

a)

We know that

f= 1/T

Here f= frequency

      T= Time period

Now by putting the values

f= 1/T

T= 0.43 s

f= 1/0.43

f=2.32 Hz

b)

We know that

V= ω r

ω = 2 π f

ω=Angular speed

V= Linear speed

ω = 2 π f=ω = 2 x π x 2.32 =14.60 rad/s

V= ω r= 14.60 x 2.1 = 30.66 m/s

c)

Acceleration ,a

a =ω ² r

a= 14.6 ² x 2.1 = 447.63 m/s²

We know that g = 10 m/s²

So

a= a/g= 447.63/10 = 44.7 g m/s²

a= 44.7 g m/s²

1. Which of the following regarding a collision is/are true? a. If you triple your speed your force of impact will be three time
34kurt

Answer:

c

Explanation:

If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is four times greater

Because impact increases with square of increase in speed.
