Physics

Energy transfer is the conversion or movement of one form of energy to another. 

An example of energy transfer would be if a light switch is turned on, electrical energy runs through the wires and is transferred to the light bulb, where electrical energy is converted to light and heat energy. 

Another example would be our bodies converting chemical energy from food into mechanical and electrical energy, which allows us to move.

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a
Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\  s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2

The length of the window s is given by,

s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

4. A billiard ball rolls from rest down a smooth ramp that is 8.0 m long. The
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula S=(at^2)/2 will be used during the entire explanation.

1. 4 = (2t^2)/2

t = 2 s.

V = at = 2 * 2 = 4 m/s

2. 8 = (2t^2)/2

t = 2.8 s

iii. 2s

iv. 2.8 - 2 = 0.8s

Hope you understand)

1.A car starts from rest and acquires a velocity of 54 km/h in 2 minutes.Find(i) the acceleration and(ii) distance travelled by
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1.) 1620 km/h^2

2.) 2.7 km

Explanation:

1.) Given that the car start from rest. The initial velocity U will be equal to zero. That is,

U = 0.

Final velocity V = 54 km/h

Time t = 2 minute = 2/60 = 1/30 hour

Acceleration a will be change in velocity per time taken. That is,

a = ( V - U )/ t

Substitute V, U and t into the formula

a = 54 ÷ 1/30

a = 54 × 30 = 1620 km/h ^2

2.) Distance travelled S by the car during the time can be calculated by using the 2nd equation of motion.

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

S = 54 × 1/30 + 1/2 × 1620 × (1/30)^2

S = 54/30 + 810 × 1/900

S = 54/30 + 810/900

S = (1620+810)/900

S = 2430/900

S = 2.7 km.

Therefore, distance travelled by the car during this time is 2.7 km
