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

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the speed of light is 3.0  108 m/s. in kilometers, how far is the earth fr
Flura [38]
To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur
Evgen [1.6K]
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

Why is it important for you to understand the basics of organ systems?
marissa [1.9K]
This question can have ALOT of answers but ill leave you with these summed up points and you can take what you need from it they are get right to the point! Sorry if they long paragraphs scare you lol




*You want to provide patients the best care possible. Most often your patients will have a disease. Diseases result when there is something abnormal in the anatomy and physiology of a structure. With a car, you can’t understand how to fix an engine if you don’t know how it works. The same is true with your patients. You can’t really understand how to treat them or why the treatment works, if you don’t understand how the effected body system normally functions.

*Patients will want to understand their diseases. In order to help them understand what is going wrong, you have to first understand how a particular organ is supposed to work. In addition, you will need to be able to explain these things to patients in a way that they can understand. If you don’t understand it well, you won’t be able to explain it. Your patient’s confidence in your ability will be at least partially determined by your ability to discuss what you are doing and why you are doing it. You will need to look up information if you are not sure.

*Organ systems are so interconnected that a disease in one system may result in a symptom in another system. Without seeing the normal interconnectedness, you cannot fully understand the disease.


*Success in an allied health field requires at least three things. First, you must have the personality to be able to support and help patients. Secondly, you must have the scientific and technical knowledge necessary to make the correct decisions regarding patient care. Thirdly, you must have the clinical skills necessary to implement this kno
