The answer is 20.4m in height. You can use the kinematics equation Vf^2=V0^2+2ad  Therefore we have solving for d or height, we get d=Vf^2/2g
(20m/s)^2/(2*9.8m/s^2)=20.4m

A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant undergoes shm with an amplitude of 0.040 m. comput
Nikitich [7]
There is a missing data in the text of the problem (found on internet):
"with force constant<span> k=</span>450N/<span>m"

a) the maximum speed of the glider

The total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is constant, and it is given by the sum of the potential and kinetic energy:
</span>E=U+K=  \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2
<span>where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the glider with respect to the spring equilibrium position
m is the glider mass
v is the speed of the glider at position x

When the glider crosses the equilibrium position, x=0 and the potential energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy and the speed of the glider is maximum:
</span>E=K_{max} =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2
<span>Vice-versa, when the glider is at maximum displacement (x=A, where A is the amplitude of the motion), its speed is zero (v=0), therefore the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
</span>E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k A^2
<span>
Since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
</span>\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 =  \frac{1}{2}kA^2
<span>from which we find the maximum speed
</span>v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{kA^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(450 N/m)(0.040 m)^2}{0.500 kg} }=  1.2 m/s
<span>
b) </span><span> the </span>speed<span> of the </span>glider<span> when it is at x= -0.015</span><span>m

We can still use the conservation of energy to solve this part. 
The total mechanical energy is:
</span>E=K_{max}=  \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J
<span>
At x=-0.015 m, there are both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is
</span>U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(-0.015 m)^2=0.05 J
<span>And since 
</span>E=U+K
<span>we find the kinetic energy when the glider is at this position:
</span>K=E-U=0.36 J - 0.05 J = 0.31 J
<span>And then we can find the corresponding velocity:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
v=  \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.31 J}{0.500 kg} }=1.11 m/s
<span>
c) </span><span>the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider;
</span>
For a simple harmonic motion, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by
a_{max} = \omega^2 A
where \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} } is the angular frequency, and A is the amplitude.
The angular frequency is:
\omega =  \sqrt{ \frac{450 N/m}{0.500 kg} }=30 rad/s
and so the maximum acceleration is
a_{max} = \omega^2 A = (30 rad/s)^2 (0.040 m) =36 m/s^2

d) <span>the </span>acceleration<span> of the </span>glider<span> at x= -0.015</span><span>m

For a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is given by
</span>a(t)=\omega^2 x(t)
<span>where x(t) is the position of the mass-spring system. If we substitute x(t)=-0.015 m, we find 
</span>a=(30 rad/s)^2 (-0.015 m)=-13.5 m/s^2
<span>
e) </span><span>the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion. </span><span>

we have already calculated it at point b), and it is given by
</span>E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J

When Karl Kaveman adds chilled grog to his new granite mug, he removes 10.9 kJ of energy from the mug. If it has a mass of 625 g
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3°C

Explanation:

We can that heat Q=mc_p dT

Where m is the mass c_p = specific heat capacity

dT = Temperature difference

here we have given m=625 g =.625 kg

specific heat of granite =0.79 J/(g-K) = 0.79 KJ/(kg-k)

T_1 =25°C

T_2 we have to find

we have also given Q=10.9 KJ

10.9=0.625×0.79×(25-T_2)

25-T_2 =22

T_2=3°C

Energy released by fusion in the sun is initially in the form of
bogdanovich [222]
Energy released by fusion in the sun is initially in the form of gamma rays.

Gamma rays arise from the radioactive decay of nuclei. They are penetrating electromagnetic radiations consisting of very high energy photons.
Gamma rays are ionizing radiations and have very serious biological dangers and hazards (due to their ability of ionizing the atoms).

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?
GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}
