Answer:

2943 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height in meters

(P.E. = mgh)

Substitute the given numbers: (I take acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m s^-2)

PE = 40 x 9.81 x (0.15x50)

PE = 2943 J

An Austin volleyball player bumps a 5 kg ball into the air. It reaches a height of 2.8 meters. How fast was the ball going as it
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v = 7.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if a volleyball, m = 5 kg

The ball reaches a height of 2.8 m

We need to find how fast the ball is going as it bumped into the air. Ket the velocity is v. Using the conservation of energy to find it as follows :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.8} \\\\=7.4\ m/s

So, the required speed is 7.4 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (b).

There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.

The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!

it's a shortcut.

Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:

Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m

Total distance = 40 m!

Sati [7]

The question is missing alternatives. Here is the complete question.

An infrared spectrometer on Dawn found something unexpected on Ceres's surface. Its presence suggested that Ceres might have formed farther from the Sun, or been impacted by objects from a more-distant part of the solar system. What was this finding?

1. The fact that Ceres is covered with small dark particles  that appear identical to the composition of Uranus's rings.

2. The presence of a thick cloud layer made of sulfuric acid, similar to what is observed at Venus.

3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

4. The infrared spectrum of Ceres's surface is essentially identical to that of most objects in the Kuiper Belt.

Answer: 3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

Explanation: The discovery of ammonia clay-like minerals in Ceres is surprising because it would be encoutered in planets that are far from the Sun, since ammonia requires colder temperatures, which is found beyond Jupiter's orbit, to condense. This finding can ascertain not only the origins of the dwarf planet as how the solar system was formed, were organized and evolved, because understanding where smaller planets are formed is important to determine their destiny.

"A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 kilometers due east and then 1.4 kilometers due north. The vectors in the diagram below
Law Incorporation [45]
Here, you need to use your "Protractor" as it is given in the question, but we can calculate the value with the help of our mathematical calculation too:
[ Protractor can be use only in real life, not here ]

Draw an imaginary line from initial position to final position.
Now, In that triangle, tan x = P/B
tan x = 1.4 / 2
tan x = 0.70
x = tan⁻¹ (0.70)
x = 35  [ tan 35 = 0.70 ]

In short, Your Answer would be 35 degrees

Hope this helps!
