You throw a 20-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is a height 14.8m above the ground, it

is traveling at a speed of 25.0 m/s upward.
A) Use the work-energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground. What is it?
B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height. What is it?

Answer:

(A) The speed just as it left the ground is 30.25 m/s

(B) The maximum height of the rock is 46.69 m

Explanation:

Given;

weight of rock, w = mg  = 20 N

speed of the rock at 14.8 m, u = 25 m/s

(a) Apply work energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground

work = Δ kinetic energy

F x d = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

mg x d = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

g x d = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

gd = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

2gd = v² - u²

v² = 2gd  + u²

v² = 2(9.8)(14.8) + (25)²

v² = 915.05

v = √915.05

v = 30.25 m/s

B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height

the initial velocity of the rock = 30.25 m/s

at maximum height, the final velocity = 0

- mg x H = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = ¹/₂m(0) - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = - ¹/₂mu²

2g x H = u²

H = u² / 2g

H = (30.25)² / 2(9.8)

H = 46.69 m

weegy a 7.5kg block is placed on a table. if its bottom surface area is 0.6m2 , how much pressure does the block exert on the ta
Lesechka [4]

The pressure exerted by the block on the table is given by:

p=\frac{W}{A}

where W is the weight of the box, and A is the bottom surface area of the box.

The weight of the box is: W=mg=(7.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=73.6 N

Substituting into the first equation, we find the pressure:

p=\frac{W}{A}=\frac{73.6 N}{0.6 m^2}=122.7 Pa

PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Answer C is the correct option. water can be written as H₂O, which means that there are 2 Hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom,  therefore it will occupy more space than oxygen and push more. there is also one more possibility, if the splitting takes place in Hoffman's Voltameter then the Hydrogen will be close to the cathode as hydrogen is positive. Otherwise, option C is correct answer. Hope this Helps you!
