A small sphere of mass m is launched horizontally over a body of water from a height h above the water and with a launch speed v

0. Determine expressions for the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. Air resistance is negligibly small.
(a) W is the amount work done by the force of gravity on the projectile during its flight.

W =
−mgh


For a conservative force, how does the work done by the force compare to the change in potential energy associated with the force?

Answer:

a)   W = m g h , b)     W / U = 1

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

        W = F. dy

in this case the force of gravity goes down and the displacement of the particle is down, so the two are parallel and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

        W = F y

strength is the weight of the body

         F = m g

        W = m g h

where h is the distance the body descends

b) the only force acting on the body is the weight of the work and we calculated them in part a, the potential energy is

     U = m g h

to compare the two magnitudes of let's find their relationship

    W / U = mgh / mgh

    W / U = 1

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

(b) 32.2°

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 30.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (Material B, n=5 / 4)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (Material A, n=4 / 3)

Hence,  

{\frac {4}{3}}\times {sin30.0^0}={\frac {5}{4}}\times{sin\theta_r}

Angle of refraction = sin^{-1}0.5333 = 32.2°

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

B. Kinetic energy of the system is partially used up in the deformation of the vehicles.

Explanation:

In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is not. Kinetic energy is lost as heat or lost in the deformation of the objects.

How many swings would a 23 cm long pendulum make in 30 seconds?
iragen [17]

Is there any possible chance that at some point in your science
studies, sometime before you were given this question for your
homework, that maybe you might have encountered this formula
for the period of a simple pendulum ?

                   Period = (2 pi) √(length/gravity) .

If the length is 0.23 meter, and the
acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s²,
then the period is

                                 = (2 pi) √(0.23/9.8)

                                 =   0.963... second  (rounded)

That's how long it takes for a simple pendulum, 23cm long,
hanging on a massless string and not swinging too far to
the side, to complete one full swing left and right.

Now, if you can figure out how many periods of  0.963 second
there are in  30 seconds, you'll have your answer.  I'll leave
that part of it to you.
