Answer: 56.72 ft/s
Explanation:
Ok, initially we only have potential energy, that is equal to:
U =m*g*h
where g is the gravitational acceleration, m the mass and h the height.
h = 50ft and g = 32.17 ft/s^2
when the watermelon is near the ground, all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy can be written as:
K = (1/2)*m*v^2
where v is the velocity.
Then we have:
K = U
m*g*h = (m/2)*v^2
we solve it for v.
v = √(2g*h) = √(2*32.17*50) ft/s = 56.72 ft/s
Answer:
The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B
Explanation:
The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

where
A is the magnitude of the first vector
B is the magnitude of the second vector
is the angle between the directions of the two vectors
In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function
. The value of
are:
- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

Answer:
The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Explanation:
To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

Our values are:




Replacing,


We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

But we know that d is equal to

Where
v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

(per hour)
Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Answer:
0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}
Explanation:
To write down correctly the number 0,00123 in scientific notation, you take into account that the scientific notation demands that there in only one number after the comma ( , ). Furthermore, it is necessary that you move the comma to the right of the first number different of zero, in this case the number 1. To do this you move the comma three positions.
Then, you have to multiply the expresion 1.23 by 10 with an exponential -3 (because of the movement of the comma in three positions). That is:
0,00123 = 1,23*10^{-3}
But it is mandatory that nly one number can stay after the comma, so, you approximate the number three. In this case, the number is lower than 5, hence, you approximate 3 to 0.
Finally, you have:
0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}
