A 0.017-kg acorn falls from a position in an oak tree that is 18.5 meters above the ground. Calculate the velocity of the acorn just before it reaches the ground (rounding your answer to the integer) and its kinetic energy when hitting the ground (rounding your answer to the nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of the acorn just before it reaches the ground is 19 m/s

The kinetic energy when hitting the ground is 3.1 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the acorn, m = 0.017 kg

height of fall, h = 18.5 m

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy;

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 18.5)

v = 19 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the acorn just before it reaches the ground is 19 m/s

Now, determine the kinetic energy when hitting the ground;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂(0.017)(19)²

K.E = 3.09 J

K.E = 3.1 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy when hitting the ground is 3.1 J

While in a car at 4.47 meters per second a passenger drops a ball from a height of 0.70 meters above the top of a bucket how far in front of the bucket should the passenger drop the ball such that the ball will land in the bucket?

Answers

Answer:

1.7 m

Explanation:

[tex]v_x[/tex] = Velocity of ball in x direction = 4.47 m/s

[tex]u_y[/tex] = Velocity of ball in y direction = 0

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

t = Time taken

[tex]s_y[/tex] = Vertical displacement = 0.7 m

[tex]s_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0.7=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.7\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.38\ \text{s}[/tex]

Horizontal displacement is given by

[tex]s_x=v_xt\\\Rightarrow s_x=4.47\times 0.38\\\Rightarrow s_x=1.7\ \text{m}[/tex]

The passenger should throw the ball 1.7 m in front of the bucket.

C. It is the slowest in a vacuum unless the observer is moving towards the source
D. In a vacuum, it varies depending on the color of the light

Answers

Answer:

I am pretty sure it is B My friend hope you are well

Explanation:

Answer:

B- It is a constant when the light is traveling in a vacuum.

You notice that when you turn off your bedroom lights, the kitchen lights can stay on. Based on this observation, what kind of circuit was used to wire the lights in your house? A. Parallel circuits because there are two or more paths for the current to flow. B. Series circuits because the current through each component is the same. C. Series circuits because there are two or more paths for the current to flow. D. Parallel circuits because the current through each component is the same.

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is A

Explanation:

In a series circuit the current flows through the circuit and when it is opened at some point the current stops throughout the circuit.

In a parallel circuit, the current flows through the different branches of the circuit and when the current in one branch is interrupted, it continues to flow through the others.

In this exercises they indicate that the bedroom lights are turned off (the circuit was opened), but the kitchen lights are still on, therefore it is a parallel circuit with at least two branches, the current that circulates through each one depends on the existence on each branch.

Therefore the correct answer is A

A 60 kg adult and a 30kg child are passengers on a rotor ride at an amusement park as shown in the diagram above. When the rotating hollow cylinder reaches a certain constant speed, v, the floor moves downward. Both passengers stay "pinned" against the wall of the rotor, as shown in the diagram below.

The magnitude of the frictional force between the adult and the wall of the spinning rotor is F. What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the child and the wall of the spinning rotor?

Answers

Answer:

 fr ’= ½ F

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation, on the axis parallel to the wall

              fr - W = 0

              fr = W

for the adult man they indicate that the friction force is equal to F

              F = M g

we write the equilibrium equation for the child

             fr ’= w’

             fr ’= m g

in the statement they tell us that the mass of the adult is 2 times the mass of the child

             M = 2m

we substitute

            fr ’= M / 2 g

            fr ’= ½ Mg

we substitute

            fr ’= ½ F

therefore the force of friction in the child is half of the friction in the adult

you can say the final distance will greater for X than Y

using acceleration for gravity a=9.81m/s^2

a.  both X and Y will have the same acceleration due to gravity

b. to solve for final speed vf=vi+gt

since the initial velocity is 0 and X will take longer to fall, Y will hit the ground with less speed

c. as mentioned before, X will take longer to fall; therefore Y will have less time of descent.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a momentum question. Momentum is conserved which means that all the starting momentum must be accounted for.

1.5 kg * 2 m/s + 2.5 kg * 3 m's = (1.5 + 2.5)kg * x m/s

3 kg m/s + 7.5 kg m/s = 4 kg * x

10.5 kg m/s = 4 kg x

10.5 / 4 = x

x = 2.625 m/s

inelastic means that after the collision, the masses stick together as though they were one.

While john is traveling along a straight in interstate highway, he notices that the mile marker reads 242 km. John travels until he reaches the 147 km marker and then retraces his path to the 161 km marker. What is John's resultant displacement from the 242 km marker? How far has he traveled answer in units of km

Answer:

The resultant displacement [tex]\Delta x _{1 , 3} = 81 \ km[/tex]

The total distance traveled by john is  [tex]x_t =109 \ km[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The first position of john from the finish point   is [tex]x_1 = 242 \ km[/tex]

       The second position of john from the finish point is   [tex]x_2 = 147 \ km[/tex]

        The third position of john from the finish point is [tex]x_3 = 161 \ km[/tex]

Generally the displacement from the 242 km  marker is mathematically represented as

          [tex]\Delta x _{1 , 3} = x_1 - x_3[/tex]

Here we used [tex]x_3[/tex] instead of  [tex]x_2[/tex] because [tex]x_3[/tex] is further than [tex]x_2[/tex] from the finish point

=>       [tex]\Delta x _{1 , 3} = 81 \ km[/tex]

Generally the total distance traveled by John is  mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]x_t = [x_1 - x_2 ] + [x_3 - x_2][/tex]

=>       [tex]x_t = [242 - 147 ] + [161 - 147][/tex]

=>       [tex]x_t =109 \ km[/tex]

   

Question 2 The gravitational force between two objects with identical masses that are 10 m apart, is 2.67 x10-10 N. To the nearest kg, what is the mass of each object? -11 Nom? Se G= Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10 kg? 2 kg O O 10 kg 20 kg O 200 kg​

Answers

Answer  888990,0 kg

Explanation:

888990,0 kg is the mass of the object.

What is Gravitational force?

Any two mass-containing objects are attracted to one another by the gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to pull masses together rather than pushing them apart, the gravitational force is known as attractive.

Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation is what it is known as.

Admittedly, you aren't pushing on those other objects all that much because you don't have a very large mass. Additionally, items that are very far apart from one another do not clearly tug on one another. 

Therefore, 888990,0 kg is the mass of the object.

A pumpkin is thrown horizontally off of a building at a speed of 2.5 m/s and travels a horizontal distance of 12 m before hitting the ground.
What was the initial height of the pumpkin?
What was the final vertical velocity of the pumpkin?

Answers

Answer:

-47.04

Explanation:

Divide 12 m by 2.5 m/s which equals 4.8s

And then use 4.8s to multiply it with -9.8

4.8(-9.8)= -47.04 m/s

Hope this helped!! :)

The initial height of the pumpkin is 23.52m and the final vertical velocity of the pumpkin is 47.04 m/s.

Laws of motion:

Initial horizontal speed, u = 2.5 m/s

horizontal distance covered , d = 12m

So the time taken is:

t = d/u

t = 12/2.5 s

t = 4.8s

Now, the initial vertical speed, v = 0

So the vertical distance traveled by the pumpkin will be equal to the initial height of the pumpkin:

s = vt + ¹/₂gt²

s = 0.5 × 9.8 × 4.8 m

s = 23.52m

Final vertical velocity:

v' = v + gt

v' = 9.8 × 4.8 m/s

v' = 47.04 m/s

An object has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.2 and a normal force of 30N. Find the force of kinetic friction.

Answers

Answer:

Force of kinetic friction, Fk = 6N

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.2

Normal force, Fn=30N

To find the Force of kinetic friction;

Mathematically, the force of kinetic friction is given by the formula;

Fk = μFn

Where;

Fk represents the force of kinetic friction. μ represents the coefficient of friction. Fn represents the normal force.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Fk = 0.2*30

Fk = 6N

Therefore, the force of kinetic friction is 6N.

A force that is present between two moving objects or surfaces is called kinetic friction. It is estimated in newtons (N) and is calculated by:

[tex]\rm F_{k} =\rm \mu _{\rm k} F_{n}[/tex]

Where, [tex]\rm F_{k}[/tex] = frictional force,  [tex]\mu _{\rm k}[/tex]  = coefficient, [tex]\rm F_{n}[/tex] = normal force.

The kinetic friction of the object is 6N.

The kinetic friction can be estimated as:

Given,

Coefficient of kinetic friction ([tex]\mu[/tex]) = 0.2

Normal force [tex]\rm F_{n}[/tex] = 30 N

Substituting values in the formula:

[tex]\rm F_{k} =\rm \mu _{\rm k} F_{n}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm F_{k} &= 0.2 \times 30\\\\\rm F_{k} &= 6 \rm N\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 6N is the frictional force.
