A book prone to air resistance is released from rest 300 m

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Approximately $73\%$ .

(Assuming that $g = \rm 9.81\; m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy. It will be shown that the exact mass of this object doesn't matter. For ease of calculation, let $m(\text{book})$ represent the mass of the book.

The initial potential energy of the book is

$\begin{aligned}U(300\; \text{m}) &= m(\text{book}) \cdot g \cdot \Delta h + U(0\; \text{m}) \cr &=(9.81 \times 300) \cdot m(\text{book})\cr &= \left(2.943\times 10^3\right) \cdot m(\text{book})\end{aligned}$ .

The book was initially at rest when it was released. Hence, its initial kinetic energy would be zero. Hence, the initial mechanical energy of the book-Earth system would be $(2.943\times 10^3) \cdot m(\text{book})$ .

When the book was about to hit the ground, its speed is $\rm 40\; m \cdot s^{-1}$ . Its kinetic energy would be:

$\begin{aligned} \text{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m(\text{book}) \cdot v^{2} \cr &= \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 40^2\right)\cdot m(\text{book}) \cr &= \left(8.00\times 10^2\right)\cdot m(\text{book})\end{aligned}$ .

The question implies that the potential energy of the book near the ground is zero. Hence, the mechanical energy of the system would be $\left(8.00\times 10^2\right)\cdot m(\text{book})$ when the book was about to hit the ground.

The amount of mechanical energy lost in this process would be equal to:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(2.943\times 10^3\right) \cdot m(\text{book}) - \left(8.00\times 10^2\right)\cdot m(\text{book}) \cr &=\left(2.143\times 10^3\right)\cdot m(\text{book})\end{aligned}$ .

Divide that with the initial mechanical energy of the system to find the percentage change. Note how the mass of the book, $m(\text{book})$ , was eliminated in this process.

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\left(2.143\times 10^3\right)\cdot m(\text{book})}{\left(2.943\times 10^3\right) \cdot m(\text{book})}\times 100\% \cr &= \frac{2.143\times 10^3}{2.943\times 10^3}\times 100\% \cr & \approx 73\%\end{aligned}$ .

Which best describes longitudinal waves?

RUDIKE [14]

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "A. Compressions and rarefactions make up longitudinal waves, which can only travel in matter." The statement that best describes longitudinal waves is that compressions and rarefactions make up longitudinal waves, which can only travel in matter.

A 3 kg block is attached to a vertical spring. Initially, you exert a 50 N downwards force on the block, holding it in place, at

Kryger [21]

As you were holding the block down and in place, the spring exerted an upward force that balanced the downward push by your hand and its own weight. So this restoring force has a magnitude of R such that

R - 50 N - (3 kg) g = 0 => R = 79.4 N

As soon as you remove your hand, the block has acceleration a such that, by Newton's second law,

R - (3 kg) g = (3 kg) a => a = (79.4 N - (3 kg) g) / (3 kg) ≈ 16.7 m/s^2

pointing upward.

Which of the the input Shelly does on a rake is 80J the output work the rate does on the leaves that 70 J what is the efficiency

Mumz [18]

Answer: The efficiency Shelly does is 87.5%.

(70J/80J) x 100% = 87.5%

Answer 2: Gravitational potential energy would be considered an object 10 meters above the ground.
