Answer:
The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
initial velocity of the ball, u = ?
The initial velocity of the ball is given by;
v = u + (-g)t
where;
v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0
g is negative because of upward motion
0 = u -gt
u = gt
u = (9.8 x 2.93)
u = 28.714 m/s
Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s
Answer:
54 Kobo
Explanation:
Units of <u>electricity</u> are measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).
Given information:
- 900 watt electric iron
- Appliance usage = 4 hours a week for 5 weeks
- Unit cost of electricity = 3 Kobo per kWh
<h3><u>Step 1</u></h3>
Convert the wattage of the electric iron from watts to kilowatts.
1000 watts (W) = 1 kilowatt (kW)
⇒ 900 watts = 1 ÷ 1000 = 0.9 kilowatts
This means that the power consumption of the electric iron is 0.9 kW per hour of use.
<h3><u>Step 2</u></h3>
Total hours spent pressing clothes:
= 4 hours per week for 5 weeks
= 4 × 5
= 20 hours
<u>Total power consumption</u>:
= number of kW × number of hours
= 0.9 × 20
= 18 kWh
<h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>
To find the <u>total cost</u>, multiply the total kWh by the cost per kWh:
⇒ Cost = 18 × 3 = 54 Kobo
Answer:
Explanation:
a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²
500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,
k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m
b )
k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m
Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J
This energy gets dissipated by friction .
work done by friction = μ mg d
d is the distance traveled under friction
so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2
μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴ or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .
Answer:
32000 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s
Distance (s) = 10 m
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s
Distance (s) = 10 m
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) =?
v² = u² + 2as
0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)
0 = 1600 + 20a
Collect like terms
0 – 1600 = 20a
–1600 = 20a
Divide both side by –1600
a = –1600 / 20
a = –80 m/s²
The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.
Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg
Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²
Force (F) =?
F = ma
F = 400 × –80
F = – 32000 N
NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.
