The potential energy of a 40 kg cannon ball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?

1 answer:

7 0

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh
It can have that high of a potential energy if it's relative height what super high.

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu_k = 0.724$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the lane is $l = 36.0 \ m$

The speed of the truck is $v = 22.6\ m/s$

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that

$\Delta KE = N * \mu_k * l$

Here N is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

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

=> $\Delta KE = 0.5 * m * 22.6^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 255.38m$

$255.38m = m * 9.8 * \mu_k * 36.0$

=> $255.38 = 352.8 * \mu_k$

=> $\mu_k = 0.724$

Think about it: suppose a meteorite collided head-on with mars and becomes buried under mars's surface. what would be the elasti

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by one and half (1.5) times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}$

where B= magnetic field

$\mu _o=$ permeability of free space

I= current in the long wire and

r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

$B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B$

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by one and half (1.5) times.
