Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A.when it reaches the top of its flight

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth at which the object is located above the ground

Therefore, we see that the higher the object, the larger its potential energy: this means that the ball will have the greatest potential energy at the top of its trajectory.

Answer 2
Answer: A. when it reaches the top of its flight

potential energy increases as the height of the object does, and the highest point of a ball's flight is when it reaches the top.

Blocks with masses of 3.0 kg, 4.0 kg, and 5.0 kg are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a 16 N force applied to the 3.0 kg block. How much force does the 4.0 kg block exert on the 5.0 kg block?

Answers

Answer:

2019?

Explanation:

Answer:

6.7 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the 4.0 kg block on the 5.0 kg block will be 6.7

Fnet = 16 N (since it is applied only to the 3.0 kg block)

Total mass of the system, m = 3.0 kg + 4.0 kg + 5.0 kg = 12.0 kg

Fnet = ma16 = 12aSolving for a,a = 16/12 = 4/3 m/s²

m is the mass of the 5.0 kg block and a is the acceleration of the system.F = 5.0 kg x 4/3 m/s² = 6.666 N

Therefore, the force exerted by the 4.0 kg block on the 5.0 kg block is 6.7 N.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Please explain.

Answers


Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

A rectangular glass block of dimensions 8.0 cm by 15.0 cm by 3.0 cm weighs 10.5 N. Calculate the minimum and the maximum pressure the bock can exert when it rests on a horizontal table.---
Please answer this asap!

Answers

The pressure can be solved using the following formula:

P = mg / A

Where: P = pressure
mg = mass * gravity = W = 10.5 N
A = l*w

Solving for A (maximum):

A = 8*3
A = 24 sq. cm

Solving for A (minimum):

A = 15*8
A = 120 sq. cm

Substituting into the first equation:

Pmax = 10.5 N / 24 sq.cm
Pmax = 0.4375 Pa

Pmin = 10.5 N / 120 sq.cm
Pmin = 0.0875 Pa
