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

A jewellery melts 500g of Silver to pour into a mould. Calculate how much energy was released as the silver solidified.
irga5000 [103]

When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

Q = mL

here given that

m = mass = 500 g

L = 111 kJ/kg

now we can find the heat released

Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ

Q = 55.5 kJ

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify

Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found
fredd [130]

Answer: Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found in an organism's <u>DNA.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our genetic information is stored in DNA. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule is a double helix structure which carries information which used in development and growth of body and determines physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color and skin color.

An RL series circuit is connected to an ac generator with a maximum emf of 20 V. If the maximum potential difference across the
Rama09 [41]

If the maximum emf of the ac generator is 20 V and the maximum potential difference across the resistor is 16 V Then the maximum potential difference across the inductor is 4 V.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the RL circuit is connected to a 20 V ac generator. The maximum potential difference across the resistor is 16 V. It is required to find the maximum potential drop across the inductor.

Step-2:

The maximum emf of the generator is equal to the sum of the maximum potential difference across the resistor and the maximum potential difference across the inductor.

Therefore,

The maximum potential difference across the inductor + Maximum maximum potential difference across the resistor = Maximum emf of the generator

Thus,

Maximum maximum potential difference across the inductor + 16 V = 20 V

Therefore,

Maximum maximum potential difference across the inductor = 20 V - 16 V = 4 V

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 16 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Alla [95]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Poles = 2

Distance = 16 m

Mass = 3 kg

Sags distance = 3 m

We need to calculate the angle made with vertical by mass

Using formula of angle

\tan\theta=\dfrac{8}{3}

\thta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{8}{3}

\theta=69.44^{\circ}

We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline

Using formula of tension

mg=2T\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

3\times9.8=2T\times\cos69.44

T=\dfrac{3\times9.8}{2\times\cos69.44}

T=41.85\ N  

Hence, The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.
