Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH
V^2 = 2GH
V = âš2GH
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)
V = âš 6370
V = 79.81 m/s
I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
wavelength, λ = 3.4 m
wavelength, λ' = 3.3 m
Speed, v = 340 m/s
f = v / λ = 340 / 3.4 = 100 Hz
f' = v / λ' = 340 / 3.3 = 103.03 Hz
Frequency of beat, n = f' - f = 103.03 - 100 = 3.03 Hz
Answer:
a) 19440 km/h²
b) 10 sec
Explanation:
v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 45 km/h
v = final velocity achieved by the car = 99 km/h
d = distance traveled by the car while accelerating = 0.2 km
a = acceleration of the car
Using the kinematics equation
v² = v₀² + 2 a d
99² = 45² + 2 a (0.2)
a = 19440 km/h²
b)
t = time required to reach the final velocity
Using the kinematics equation
v = v₀ + a t
99 = 45 + (19440) t
t = 0.00278 h
t = 0.00278 x 3600 sec
t = 10 sec
