A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building and strikes the ground with a speed . from ground level, a second ball is

Unless the second ball's speed is twice the amount of the first ball's no they will not cross paths

A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom o

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

As we know that

$1 ly = 63000 AU$

also we know that

$1AU = 1.5 \times 10^8 km$

$1 ly = 63000 (1.5 \times 10^8) = 9.45 \times 10^{12} km$

So the distance of Betelgeuse = 640 ly

$d_1 = 640 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} = 6.05 \times 10^{15} m$

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: $3.09 × 10^8 AU$

$d_2 = 3.09\times 10^8 \times 1.5 \times 10^8 km$

$d_2 = 4.64 \times 10^{16} km$

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

$1 pc = 3.262 ly = 3.262 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} km$

$1pc = 3.08 \times 10^{13} km$

now we have

$d_3 = 49976 \times 3.08 \times 10^{13}$

$d_3 = 1.54 \times 10^{18} km$

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

$d_4 = 4.7 \times 10^9 km$

now the order of distance from least to greatest is as following

1. distance to Neptune at the farthest

2. distance of Betelgeuse

3. distance to the star VY Canis Majoris

4. distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes

Alchen [17]

<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=54.5m/s$ is the projectile's initial speed

$\theta=35\°$ is the angle

$t=2.80s$ is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

$x$ is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)

$y$ is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

$x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)$ (3)

$x=125m$ (4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

$y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$y=48.308m$ (6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile

Por una resistencia de 10 Ω fluyen 5A. ¿Cuál será la diferencia de potencial que se le debe aplicar a la resistencia?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

V = 50 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance, R = 10 ohms

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the potential difference across the circuit. We know that,

V = IR

Put all the values,

V = 5 × 10

V = 50 volts

Hence, the potential difference is equal to 50 volts.
