You throw a 20-n rock vertically into the air from ground level. you observe that when it is a height 15.4 m above the ground, i

t is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s upward.

I believe there are two things which we asked to find here:

1. its speed just as it left the ground

2. find its maximum height

 

Solutions:

1. We use the formula:

ΔKE = - ΔPE

where KE is kinetic energy = ½ mv^2, and PE is potential energy = m g h, Δ = change

Therefore:

½ m (v2^2 – v1^2) = m g (h1 – h2)

at initial point, point 1: h1 = 0, v1 = ?

at final point, point 2: h2 = 15.4 m, v2 = 24.2 m/s

½ (24.2^2 – v1^2) = 9.8 (0 – 15.4)

585.64 – v1^2 = -301.84

-v1^2 = 887.48

v1 = 29.8 m/s

So the rock was travelling at 29.8 m/s as it left the ground.

 

2. The maximum height (hmax) reached is calculated using the formula:

v1^2 = 2 g hmax

Rewriting in terms of hmax:

hmax = v1^2 / 2 g

hmax = (29.8)^2 / (2 * 9.8)

hmax = 45.3 m

Therefore the rock reached a maximum height of 45.3 meters.

A metal block has a density of 5000 kg per cubic meter and a mass of 15,000 kg. What is its volume?
Naily [24]

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of the metal block</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }
  • Mass= 15000 kg
  • Volume= ?

Replacing in the definition of density:

5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} } =\frac{15000 kg}{volume}

Solving:

volume×5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }= 15000 kg

volume= \frac{15000 kg}{5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }}

<u><em>volume= 3 m³</em></u>

In summary, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

A particle is attached to a spring and is pushed so that the spring is compressed more and more. As a result, the spring exerts
ad-work [718]
In order for particles to perform a simple harmonic motion, we must follow the law of force of the form F = -kx, where x is the displacement of the object from the equilibrium position and k is the spring constant. The force shown in <span>F = -kx is always the restoring force in the sense that the particles are pulled towards the equilibrium position.

The repulsive force felt when the charge q1 is pushed into another charge q2 of the same polarity is given by Coulomb's law
                                F = </span><span>k *q1* q2 / r^2.
</span>It is clear that Coulomb's law is an inverse-square relationship. It does not have the same mathematical form as the equation <span><span>F = -kx.</span> Thus, charged particles pushed towards another fixed charged particle of the same fixed polarity do not show a simple harmonic motion when released. Coulomb's law does not describe restoring force. When q1 is released, it just fly away from q2 and never returns.</span>

What is kinetic friction?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Kinetic friction is an inhibitory force that is present when a body or object begins to move. It should be noted that this force is in the opposite direction to the movement of the body that slides with respect to a surface and parallel to that surface.

In addition, this friction varies according to the surface characteristics and the material properties of the bodies that slide in this surface. Being quantified by the coefficient of kinetic friction \mu_{K}, which is dimensionless.

An alpha particle (charge +2e) and an electron move in opposite directions from the same point, each with the speed of 2.80×10^5
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to moving charge =

B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \times \frac{qv}{r^2}

q is charge moving with velocity v and r is distance from point at which field is calculated .

For alpha particle

B_1=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \times \frac{2\times 1.6\times10^{-19}\times 2.8\times 10^5}{(8.25\times 10^{-9})^2}

= 0.1316 x 10⁻³ T

For electron

B_2=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \times \frac{ 1.6\times10^{-19}\times 2.8\times 10^5}{(8.25\times 10^{-9})^2}

= .0658 x 10⁻³ T .

Both these magnetic field will be same in direction because direction of equivalent current is same for both the particles .

Hence

Total magnetic field

= B₁ + B₂ = .1974 x 10⁻³

= 1.974 x 10⁻⁴ T .
