We need to use the equation for potencial energy

Ep= mgh

now we have to replace with the values we have

Ep=(14m)(9.81m/s²)(0.01kg)

Ep= 1.3734 Joules

Answer:

The average force the golf club exerts on the ball is 600 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that force, F, is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum produced

F = m× (v₂ - v₁)/(Δt)

The given parameters of the motion of the ball are;

The mass of the ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg

The initial velocity of the ball, v₁ = 0 m/s

The speed with which the ball was hit by the golfer, v₂ = 40 m/s

The duration of contact between the golf club and the ball, Δt = 3 ms = 0.003 seconds (s)

By Newton's law of motion, the average force, 'F', which the golf club exerts on the ball is therefore, given as follows;

F = 0.045 kg × (40 m/s - 0 m/s)/(0.003 s) = 600 N

The average force the golf club exerts on the ball = F = 600 N.

A. What is the basic building block of matter?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

a. atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. The atom is made of electrons and protons. It contains the chemical identity of an element.

b. Three types of particles that make up an atom are:

electrons - these are negatively charged particles and lightest constituents of an atom.

protons are positively charges and is 1873 times heavier than an electron.

Neutrons are neutral particles having mass equivalent to mass of proton.

Protons and neutrons exist in the center of an atom in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.

c. An atom is a neutral entity where as an ion is charged. An ion has excess of electrons or lacks electrons due to which it has negative or positive charge. An atom has an equal number of electrons and protons.

d. In a negative ion, the number electrons is greater than number of protons. The atom when gains electrons becomes negative ion.

e. John Dalton proposed Solid sphere model in which tiny invisible particles constitute matter. These invisible particles are atoms and these are indivisible.

Your washer has power of 450 watts, and your dryer has a power of 3000
qaws [65]

Answer:

See explanations below

Explanation:

Power = Workdone/Time

Power of washer = 450watts

Time used to clean the clothes = 1hour = 3600secs

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 450/3600

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 0.125Joules

For drying;

Energy = 3000/1.5*3600

Energy = 3000/5400

Energy = 0.556Joules

Hence the energy in washing id 0.556Joules

Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x
sattari [20]
If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?
