Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules

What best describes the dropping height of a ball that bounced back up to a height of 45 centimeters?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:C:Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy

Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy.

Although the initial energy (potential energy is preserved), the energy of deformation as the ball strikes a surface creates energy dissipation in the form of frictional heat and audible sound energy.

Every time the ball bounces, its height will be less than its previous height.

Copper and aluminum are being considered for a high-voltage transmission line that must carry a current of 60.7 A. The resistanc

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a) The magnitude JJ of the current density for a copper cable is 5.91 × 10⁵A.m⁻²

b)The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for a copper cable is 0.757kg/m

c)The magnitude J of the current density for an aluminum cable is 3.5 × 10⁵A/m²

d)The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for an aluminum cable is 0.380kg/m

Explanation:

The expression for electric field of conductor is,

$E = \frac{V}{L}$

The general equation of voltage is,

V = iR

The expression for current density in term of electric field is,

$J = \frac{E}{p}$

Substitute (V/L) for E in the above equation of current density.

$J = \frac{V}{pL} ------(1)$

Substitute iR for V in equation (1)

$J = \frac{iR}{pL} ------(2)$

Substitute 1.69 × 10⁸ Ω .m for p

50A for i

0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L) in eqn (2)

$J = \frac{(50) (0.200\times 10^-^3) }{1.69 \times 10^-^8 } \\\\= 5.91 \times 10^5A.m^-^2$

The magnitude JJ of the current density for a copper cable is 5.91 × 10⁵A.m⁻²

b) The expression for resistivity of the conductor is,

$p = \frac{RA}{L}$

$A = \frac{pL}{R}$

The expression for mass density of copper is,

m = dV

where, V is the density of the copper.

Substitute AL for V in equation of the mass density of copper.

m=d(AL)

m/L = dA

λ is use for (m/L)

substitute,

pL/R for A and λ is use for (m/L) in the eqn above

$\lambda = d\frac{p}{\frac{R}{L} } ------(3)$

Substitute 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L)

8960kgm⁻³ for d and 1.69 × 10⁸ Ω .m

$\lambda = (8960) \frac{(1.69 \times 10^-^8 }{0.200\times 10^-^3} \\\\= 0.757kg.m^-^1$

c) Using the equation (2) current density for aluminum cable is,

$J = \frac{iR}{pL}$

p is the resistivity of the aluminum cable.

Substitute 2.82 × 10⁻⁸Ω.m for p ,

50A for i and 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L)

$J = \frac{(50)(0.200\times10^-^3) }{2.89\times 10^-^8} \\\\= 3.5 \times10^5A/m^2$

The magnitude J of the current density for an aluminum cable is 3.5 × 10⁵A/m²

d) Using the equation (3) mass per unit length for aluminum cable is,

$\lambda = d\frac{p}{\frac{R}{L} }$

p is the resistivity and is the density of the aluminum cable.

Substitute 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L), 2700 for d and 2.82 × 10⁻⁸Ω.m for p

$\lambda = (2700) \frac{(2.82 \times 10^-^8) }{(0.200 \times 10^-^3) } \\\\= 0.380kg/m$

The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for an aluminum cable is 0.380kg/m

A 5,257 kg rocket blasts off to the moon with an acceleration of 76 m/s ^2 what is the net force on the rocket

frutty [35]

Newton's subsequent law expresses that power is corresponding to what exactly is needed for an object of consistent mass to change its speed. This is equivalent to that item's mass increased by its speed increase.

We use Newtons, kilograms, and meters each second squared as our default units, albeit any proper units for mass (grams, ounces, and so forth) or speed (miles each hour out of every second, millimeters per second², and so on) could unquestionably be utilized also - the estimation is the equivalent notwithstanding.

Hence, the appropriate answer will be 399,532.

Net Force = 399532
