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

What are the wavelengths of electromagnetic wave in free space that have the following frequencies?.
irina [24]

The wavelengths of the light are 4.3 * 10^-12 m and 0.2 m respectively.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The term wavelength has to do with the horizontal distance that is covered by a wave. We know that a long wavelength implies that the wave is able to travel a long distance from one point to another.

Given that;

c = λf

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength of ight

f = frequency of light

Thus;

λ = 3 * 10^8/ 7.00 x 10^19

λ = 4.3 * 10^-12 m

λ = 3 * 10^8/1.50 x 10^9

λ = 2 * 10^-1 or 0.2 m

If the 250 kg bumper car that you are riding in hits another bumper car that is sitting still while driving 3.5 m/s, how much fo
Vilka [71]

Answer:

875 N

Explanation:

From this question, you didn't state the time taken for the bumper car to move or to hit the other bumper car. In calculations of force, time is often needed, because

Force = mass * acceleration, while

Acceleration = velocity / time, basically

Force = mass * velocity / time.

We have our mass, we have our velocity, but we haven't time. So, for this calculation, I'd assume our time to be 1s.

Going by the formula I stated, we can then say that

Force = 250 * 3.5 / 1

Force = 875 N

This means the force my bumper car have while moving at 3.5 m/s for an estimated time of 1s is 875 N

Find the equivalent resistance.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

18 Ω

Explanation:

As K and F are at the same voltage, we can redraw the diagram as in figure 2

Series resistances add directly, so we get figure 3

Adding parallel resistances gets us to figure 4

Now we can move two 6Ω resistances for clarification in figure 5

As the voltage between C and J will be identically split between D and H, there will be no voltage drop across the middle 6Ω resister and no current through it, identical to an infinite resistance, so that 6Ω can be eliminated as in figure 6

Add series resistances to get to figure 7

Add parallel resistances to get to figure 8

Add series resistances to get to figure 9

If something is being carried by westerlies, what direction is it moving??
sergejj [24]
Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.
