Using the GPE=MGH, M=0.5 kg, G=9.8m/s H= 2 m multiply those all together and we will have 9.8 J (joules)

A 0.350kg bead slides on a curved fritionless wire,
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

h2 = 0.092m

Explanation:

From a balance of energy from point A to point B, we get speed before the collision:

m1*g*h-\frac{m1*V_B^2}{2}=0  Solving for Vb:

V_B=\sqrt{2gh}=6.56658m/s

Since the collision is elastic, we now that velocity of bead 1 after the collision is given by:

V_{B'}=V_B*\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2} = \sqrt{2gh}* \frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2}=-1.34316m/s

Now, by doing another balance of energy from the instant after the collision, to the point where bead 1 stops, we get the distance it rises:

m1*g*h2-\frac{m1*V_{B'}^2}{2}=0 Solving for h2:

h2 = 0.092m

A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal
givi [52]
I'm gonna have to assume the girl is on the right side and boy on left.
The net force is the sum of all forces on an object (includes negatives).
Let's say the force of the boy is variable <em>b</em>.  Use the formula F = ma.

<em>b </em>+ 3.5 = 0.2(2.5)

This is now simple algebra.  Solve to get that <em />the boty is exerting a force of -3N to the left.

In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal
kramer

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:

F_G = G * \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\

Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.

Un atleta de 70 kg de masa que ha efectuado un salto de altura cae una vez que ha
Allushta [10]

Answer:

a) the elastic force of the pole directed upwards and the force of gravity with dissects downwards

Explanation:

The forces on the athlete are

a) at this moment the athlete presses the garrolla against the floor, therefore it acquires a lot of elastic energy, which is absorbed by the athlete to rise and gain potential energy,

therefore the forces are the elastic force of the pole directed upwards and the force of gravity with dissects downwards

b) when it falls, in this case the only force to act is batrachium by the planet, this is a projectile movement for very high angles

c) When it reaches the floor, it receives an impulse that opposes the movement created by the mat. The attractive force is the attraction of gravity.
