College physics gauss law question You don't need to solve the question, please explain why the electric field for r

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

Acar traveling at 22 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. it comes to a complete stop in 15 seconds. what is it’s acceleration?

Alarge cruise ship of mass 7.00 ✕ 107 kg has a speed of 11.6 m/s at some instant. (a) what is the ship's kinetic energy at this time? (b) how much work is required to stop it? (give the work done on the ship. include the sign of the value in your answer.) (c) what is the magnitude of the constant force required to stop it as it undergoes a displacement of 3.00 km?
