In compressed state, a spring 3.00 meters long hanging from the ceiling has a potential energy of 2.0 joules. If the entire pote

ntial energy is used to release a ball of mass 1.2 kilograms vertically downward, then what is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches the ground?

We can't tell from the information in the question.

The kinetic energy of the ball when it hits the floor will be

           (the 2 joules that it got from the spring when the spring
             suddenly flung it away from the ceiling)

             PLUS

           (the gravitational potential energy the ball had
            just from being up at the ceiling) .

We don't know the total, because we don't know how high the ceiling is
above the floor.

The efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output of any instrument or device or machine to the input supplied to it. So the greater the output the greater will be the efficiency of the device.

As here the work done by us on the system is said to be 10 J so this will be equal to the input work done on the system. And the work done by the system i.e., the scissor is 20 J, so this will be the output work.

So, the efficiency is the ratio of output to input as shown below.

Efficiency = (\frac {20} {10} ) \times 100 = 200

So, the efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

If a freely falling object were equipped with a speedometer on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s², then i
babymother [125]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object determines the increase in velocity per second.

In this case the acceleration is 20m/s^2.

a=\frac{v}{t}=\frac{\frac{20m}{s}}{s}

That is, the increase is 20m/s each second.

I hope this is useful for you

Regards

quester [9]

#1

Since Beth rode the Flying saucer ride which is spinning on its axis while axis is moving to and fro as well, so here Beth will experience two motions in this case

(i) Spinning motion

(ii) Rotational motion

#2

Jill and Scott both traveled for 30 min

So time of motion for both is 0.5 h as we know that 1 h = 60 min

Now from the formula of speed we know that

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Speed of Jill

v_1 = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 km/h

speed of Scott

v_2 = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 km/h

so correct answer is

B) Scott had the faster speed since he rode at 20 k/h while Jill only traveled 10 km/h.

#3

Since we know that <em>acceleration is rate of change in velocity</em>

So here we can say that every motion where velocity changes with time then it is an accelerated motion.

Now change in velocity occurs when either the magnitude will change or its direction will change because here velocity is a vector quantity and it will change with magnitude and direction both.

so here due to oval path the direction of velocity will changes at many points and hence it will be an accelerated motion.

so correct answer is

<em>C) James was right since the car changed direction during the race.</em>

Why do nuclear power plants use fission rather than fusion to generate
kicyunya [14]

B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

  • Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
  • But fusion produces far more energy.
  • The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
  • The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
  • Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

Radio waves are<br> waves.<br> O longitudinal<br> O transverse<br> O mechanical
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves
