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 is kepler's law??​

<h2>QUESTION:- </h2>

➜what is kepler's law??

\huge\red{\boxed{\huge\mathbb{\red A \pink{N}\purple{S} \blue{W}\orange{ER}}}}

Kepler gave the three laws or theorems of motion of the orbitals bodies

{\huge {\bold{ \red{ \star}}}}{ \blue{ \bold{FIRST \: \: \: LAW}}}

This law state that the celestial bodies revolves around the stars in elliptical orbit and star as a single focus.

Example :- Earth revolves around the Sun as assuming it as single focus

This also shows that earth revolves around the sun in elliptical orbit.

{\huge {\bold{ \blue{ \star}}}}{ \green{ \bold{SECOND \: \: \: LAW}}}

Area covered by the planet is equal in equal duration of time irrespective of the position of the planet.

It also states that Angular momentum is constant

As Angular momentum is constant it means areal velocity is also constant.

\frac{ \triangle \: A}{ \triangle \: T} = \frac{L}{2m}△T△A=2mL

where:-

A is the area.

T is the time.

L is the angular momentum.

M is the mass of the body.

{\huge {\bold{ \green{ \star}}}}{ \purple{ \bold{THIRD \: \: \: LAW}}}

square of the time of the revolution is directly proportional to the cube of the distance between the planet and star in Astronomical unit.

{T}^{2} = {a}^{3}T2=a3

where:-

T = time of revolution

a is the distance between the planet and star.

A- 1000 m/s2<br> Xi-0m<br> Xf-0.75m<br> Vf-?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s    

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the object, a = 1000 m/s²

The initial displacement of the object, x_{i} = 0 m

The final displacement of the object,  x_{f} = 0.75 m

The initial velocity of the object will be, v_{i} = o m/s

The final velocity of the object, v_{f} = ?

The average velocity of the object,

                                    v = ( x_{f} - x_{i} )/ t

                                      = 0.75 / t

The acceleration is given by the relation

                                     a = v / t

                                   1000 m/s² = 0.75 / t²

                                            t² = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴

                                            t = 0.027 s

Using the I equation of motion,

                                  v_{f} = u + at

Substituting the values

                                   v_{f} = 0 + 1000 x 0.027

                                                           = 27 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s
