Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

A mass of 250 N is on a piston of 2.0 m^2. What force is needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<h3>62.5N</h3>

Explanation:

The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.

Pressure = Force/Area

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given

F1 = 250N

A1 = 2.0m²

A2 = 0.5m²

F2 = ?

Substituting the given values in the formula;

250/2 = F2/0.5

cross multiply

250*0.5 = 2F2

125 = 2F2

F2 = 125/2

F2 = 62.5N

Hence the  force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N

A positive charge of 1 µC is taken from points A &amp; B such that VA-VB = 100 V. Then the
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Let Charge of 1\ \mu C is taken from points A & B such that V_A-V_B=1000\ V.

We need to find the energy of charge. Electric potential is defined as the work done per unit of electric charge. So,

W=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\W=-1000\times 10^{-6}\\\\W=E=-10^{-3}\ J

So, the energy of charge decreases by 10^{-3}\ J. Hence, the correct option  is (a).

A very light ping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a very heavy stationary bowling ball. The Ping-Pong ba
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows or

which means (1) so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2) therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:
