*A*</span>

Answer:

a. potential energy because it has the ability to do work.

Explanation:

Here when object is in motion then the energy stored in it is known as kinetic energy

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

while if an object is at rest at some height above the surface then the energy stored in it is known as gravitational potential energy

PE = mgh

this energy is stored in the object and it shows the ability to do work

when the object is dropped from some height then this gravitational PE will convert into kinetic energy

so here correct answer will be

a. potential energy because it has the ability to do work.

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an
diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N   (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.

The position of the front bumper of a test car under microprocessor control is given by x(t) = 2.31 m + (4.90 m/s2)t2 - (0.100 m
vovangra [49]
The equation of the car is given by the equation,

                          x(t) = 2.31 + 4.90t² - 0.10t⁶

If we are going to differentiate the equation in terms of x, we get the value for velocity.

                  dx/dt = 9.8t - 0.6t⁵

Calculate for the value of t when dx/dt = 0.

                 dx/dt = 0 = (9.8 - 0.6t⁴)(t)

The values of t from the equation is approximately equal to 0 and 2. 

If we substitute these values to the equation for displacement,

(0)   , x = 2.31 + 4.90(0²) - 0.1(0⁶) = 2.31

(2)    , x = 2.31 + 4.90(2²) - 0.1(2⁶) = 15.51

Thus, the positions at the instants where velocity is zero are 2.31 and 15.51 meters.

A ball is dropped from a high rise platform at t=0 starting from rest. After 6 seconds another ball is thrown downwards from the
AlekseyPX

Answer:

73.5 m/s

Explanation:

The position of the first ball is:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

y = h + (0)(18) + ½ (-9.8)(18)²

y = h − 1587.6

The position of the second ball is:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

y = h + (-v) (18−6) + ½ (-9.8)(18−6)²

y = h − 12v − 705.6

Setting the positions equal:

h − 1587.6 = h − 12v − 705.6

-1587.6 = -12v − 705.6

1587.6 = 12v + 705.6

882 = 12v

v = 73.5

The second ball is thrown downwards with a speed of 73.5 m/s

Was the cannonball able to hit its target of 50 meters when the initial velocity was 20 m/s? Why?/Why Not?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The cannon ball was not able to hit the target because the target is located at a height of 50 m whereas the cannon ball was only above to get to a height of 20 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height to which the target is located = 50 m

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

To know whether or not the cannon ball is able to hit the target, we shall determine the maximum height to which the cannon ball attained. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 20² – (2 × 10 × h)

0 = 400 – 20h

Collect like terms

0 – 400 = – 20h

– 400 = – 20h

Divide both side by – 20

h = – 400 / – 20

h = 20 m

Thus, the the maximum height to which the cannon ball attained is 20 m.

From the calculations made above, we can conclude that the cannon ball was not able to hit the target because the target is located at a height of 50 m whereas the cannon ball was only above to get to a height of 20 m.

A ray of light in air is incident on the mid-point of a heavy flint glass prism surface at an angle of 20º with the normal. for
Nata [24]
Assuming that you have a triangular prism, the ray of light will undergo refraction twice. The first time is the transition from air to flint glass on the entry face, and the second time is the transition from the flint glass to air from the exit face. With the available data, there are two possible solution since saying "20Âş from the normal" isn't enough information. Depending upon which side of the normal that 20 degrees is, the interior triangle will have the angles of 35, 90-r, and 55+r, or 35, 90+r, 55-r degrees where r is the angle from the normal after the 1st refraction. I will provide both possible solutions and you'll need to actually select the correct one based upon the actual geometry which I don't know because you didn't provide the figure or diagram that you were provided with.    

The equation for refraction is:  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

where  

a1,a2 = angles from the normal to the surface.  

n1,n2 = index of refraction for the transmission mediums.    

For this problem, we've been given an a1 of 20Âş and an n1 of 1.60. For n2, we will use air which at STP has an index of refraction of 1.00029. So  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 20)/(sin a2) = 1.00029/1.60  

0.342020143/(sin a2) = 0.62518125  

0.342020143 = 0.62518125(sin a2)  

0.547073578 = sin a2  

asin(0.547073578) = a2  

33.16647891 = a2    

So the angle from the normal INSIDE the prism is 33.2Âş. The resulting angle from the surface of the entry face will be either 90-33.2 or 90+33.2 depending upon the geometry. So the 2 possible triangles will be either 35Âş, 56.8Âş, 88.2Âş or 35Âş, 123.2Âş, 21.8Âş. with a resulting angle from the normal of either 1.8Âş or 68.2Âş. I can't tell you which one is correct since you didn't tell me which side of the normal the incoming ray came from. So let's calculate both possible exits.    

1.8Âş  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 1.8)/(sin a2) = 1.6/1.00029  

0.031410759/(sin a2) = 1.599536135  

0.031410759= 1.599536135(sin a2)  

0.019637418= sin(a2)  

asin(0.019637418) = a2  

1.125213477 = a2    

68.2Âş  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 68.2)/(sin a2) = 1.6/1.00029  

0.928485827/(sin a2) = 1.599536135  

0.928485827 = 1.599536135(sin a2)  

0.58047193 = sin a2 

 asin(0.58047193) = a2 

 35.48374252 = a2   

 So if the interior triangle is acute, the answer is 1.13Âş and if the interior triangle is obtuse, the answer is 35.48Âş
