Lloyd is standing on a scaffolding 12 meters above the ground to clean the windows of a tall building. His bucket, which has a m

ass of 0.5 kilograms, falls off the edge of the scaffolding. Calculate the bucket’s kinetic and potential energy when it is 4 meters above the ground. Also calculate its velocity at this point.

Answer:

The bucket's velocity is v = 12.522 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Height above the ground, H = 12 m

Mass of bucket, m = 0.5 kg

Height of bucket, h = 4m

Taking acceleration of gravity, g as 9.8m/s²

First, we calculate the potential energy when bucket is on scaffolding (just about to fall) its total energy is 100%

P.E = mgH

P.E = 0.5 * 9.8 * 12

P.E = 58.8 J

At this point, the object is at rest, so the kinetic energy is 0 J

When the object is at 4 m above the ground, the bucket's total mechanical energy is as follows using conservation of energy

M.E = mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Where Total mechanical energy (M.E) = P.E (calculated above) = 58.8 J

By substitution, we have

58.8 = 0.5 * 9.8 * 4 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}

58.8 = 19.6 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}

58.8 - 19.6 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}

39.2 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}

39.2 = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * v^{2}

39.2 * 2 * 2=  v^{2}

156.8=  v^{2} --- Take Square roots

\sqrt{156.8} =  \sqrt{v^{2}}

v = \sqrt{156.8}

v = 12.522 m/s ---- Approximated

Hence, the bucket's velocity is v = 12.522 m/s

Answer:

U₂ = 20 J

KE₂ = 40 J

v= 12.64 m/s

Explanation:  

Given that

H= 12 m

m = 0.5 kg

h= 4 m

The potential energy at position 1

U₁ = m g H

U₁ = 0.5 x 10 x 12        ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₁ = 60 J

The potential energy at position 2

U₂ = m g h

U ₂= 0.5 x 10 x 4        ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₂ = 20 J

The kinetic energy at position 1

KE= 0

The kinetic energy at position 2

KE= 1/2 m V²

From energy conservation

U₁+KE₁=U₂+KE₂

By putting the values

60 - 20 = KE₂

KE₂ = 40 J

lets take final velocity is v m/s

KE₂= 1/2 m v²

By putting the values

40 = 1/2 x 0.5 x v²

160 = v²

v= 12.64 m/s

Myopia is a condition of the eye where the crystalline lens focuses the light rays to a position between the lens and the retina
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: concave lens

Explanation:

Myopia is a condition of the eye where someone can only see near distant object clearly but not far distant object.

Myopia is corrected using concave lens (diverging) in order to diverge the rays entering the eye thereby allowing the rays to be focused properly on the retina.

A baseball rolls off a 1.20m high desk and strikes the floor 0.50m away from the base of the desk . How fast was it rolling?
noname [10]

The initial velocity of the ball is 1.01 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball rolling off the desk is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity)

We start by analyzing the vertical motion: we can find the time of flight of the ball by using the following suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s = 1.20 m is the vertical displacement (the height of the desk)

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g=9.8 m/s^2

t is the time of flight

Solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.20)}{9.8}}=0.495 s

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. We know that the ball covers a horizontal distance of

d = 0.50 m

in a time

t = 0.495 s

Therefore, since the horizontal velocity is constant, we can calculate it as

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.50}{0.495}=1.01 m/s

So, the ball rolls off the table at 1.01 m/s.

a boy steps off the end of a high diving board and drops into the water below. it takes the boy 0.78 seconds to reach the water.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

7.644 feet

Explanation:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling.
