You are launching a 2 kg potato out of a potato cannon. The cannon is 2.0 m long and is aimed 70 degrees above the horizontal. I

t exerts a 52 N force on the potato. What is the kinetic energy (in J) of the potato as it leaves the muzzle of the potato cannon?

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J

A 65kg person throw a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the s
Kobotan [32]
Well, st first we should find <span>initial momentum for the first person represented in the task which definitely must be :
</span>(65+0.045)*2.5
And then we find the final one :  65*x + 0.045*30
Then equate them together : x=2.48 m/s 
So we can get the velocity, which is is 2.48 m/s
In that way, according to the main rules of <span>conservation of momentum you can easily find the solution for the second person.

Could I get help on this question please . My parents won’t help me /:
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Tarzan will be moving at 7.4 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of cliff = 2.8 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine how fast (i.e final velocity) Tarzan will be moving at the bottom. This can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 2.8)

v² = 0 + 54.88

v² = 54.88

Take the square root of both side

v = √54.88

v = 7.4 m/s

Therefore, Tarzan will be moving at 7.4 m/s at the bottom.

You are bungee jumping from a bridge. Initially, while you are falling the slack bungee cord isn’t exerting any forces or torque
harina [27]

Answer:

he fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true

Explanation:

Let's pose the solution of this problem, to be able to analyze the firm affirmations.

When the person is falling, the weight acts on them all the time, initially the rope has no force, but at the moment it begins to lash it exerts a force towards the top that is proportional to the lengthening of the rope.

The equation for this part is

                 Fe - W = m a  

                 k x - mg = m a

As the axis of rotation is located at the top where they jump, there is a torque.

What is it

                Fe y - W y = I α

angular and linear acceleration are related

       a = α r

       Fe y - W y = I a / r

In the fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

TEMPERATURE

Explanation:

When a wave is absorbed by a material medium, different phenomena occur, but the collisions with the other particles causes the energy to be transformed into internal energy in the atoms and molecules of the material, with TEMPERATURE measurements the increase in the internal energy of the material.
