The work energy principle states that the change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object. If

you drop an object in class from some height what will the final velocity of the object be? Assume there is no air resistance, and use the insert math equation (sqrt x above) to put in your answer.

Answer:

v=\sqrt{2gh}\ m/s

Explanation:

From work energy theorem

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Lets take

m= mass of object

h=height from the ground surface

initial velocity of object = 0 m/s

The final velocity of object is v

Work done by gravitational force = m g . h

The final kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

So

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

m g h =  1/2 m v² - 0

v² = 2 g h

v=\sqrt{2gh}\ m/s

A major contribution of Johannes Kepler to the development of modern astronomy was:________.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630

The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.26 years. If 50 g are left after 15.8 years, how many
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

400 g

Explanation:

The computation of the number of grams in the original sample is shown below:

Given that

half-life = 5.26 years

total time of decay = 15.8 years

final amount = 50.0 g

Now based on the above information  

number of half-lives past is

=  15.8 ÷ 5.26

= 3 half-lives

Now

3 half-lives = 1 ÷ 8 remains = 50.0 g

So, the number of grams would be

= 50.0 g × 8

= 400 g

A girl runs 40m due south in 40 seconds an d then 20m due north in 10 secondsCalculate.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = 0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance/total time

Average speed = (40 + 20)/(40 + 10)

Average speed = 60/50

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = displacement/time

Now, she ran 40 m south and ran 20 m back north which is in the direction of where she began the journey.

Thus;

Displacement = 40 - 20 = 20 m

Average velocity = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s

Calculate the potential energy stored in a metal ball of a mass of 80 kg kept at a height of 15m from the earth surface.What wil
True [87]

Answer:

39200 joules

the potential energy will be zero

Explanation:

we know that potential energy is found by multiplying mass, acceleration due to gravity and height from the Earth's surface

so it will be

potential energy= mgh

80x9.8x15

= 39200 joules

the potential energy of the mental ball will be zero when kept on the Earth's surface because the height from the Earth's surface will be zero and zero multiplied to any number is zero only

I have a doubt with the second one, this is what I think it is. Consult your teacher if you think my answer for the second one is wrong
