Which object has more potential energy : a 3kg ball at a height of 6 meters or a 2-liter bottle of water at a height of 8 meters

Physics
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Ball

Explanation:

We can set a system of equations for the objects and the systems:

Ug_{1}=18g\\

The density of water is 1kg/liter, therefore

Ug_{2}=(2*1)*8g\\\\Ug_{2}=16g\\

Compare Ug1 to Ug2:

Ug_{1} > Ug_{2}

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 58.8m/s2 . The accel
Zanzabum
Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.

Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m

Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.

Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s

Part B) Free fall

Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0

Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s

ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2

ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m

Answer: ymax = 10084.2m

7. An 8 kg ball is travelling to the east at 10 ms', collides with a 2 kg ball travelling to the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 7m/s

Explanation:

M1=8kg,  V1 =10m/s , M2=2kg , V2=-5m/s

initial momentum before collison

m1v1+m2v2

=8×10 +2×(-5)  =80-10  = 70kg m/s

final momentum after collison

=(m1+m2)×v

=(8+2)×v

=10v

According to the law of conversion of momentum

initial momentum =final momentum

70=10v

10v=70

v=70/10

v=7m/s

Ann [662]

Answer:

   θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north

Explanation:

This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.

The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed

                  v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²

                  v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²

Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane

        sin θ = v_air / v_fly

        θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)

         

let's calculate

        θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)

         θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east
