A 3 kg stone is dropped from a height of 4 m what is its momentum as it strikes the ground

1 answer:

7 0

Okay first you have to recognize that the maximum Gravitational potential energy will equal the maximum kinetic energy. The maximum GPE will equal when the stone is at its highest point and the max KE will be right before the stone hits the ground. So

GPE max = KE max

mgh = 1/2mv^2

Mass cancels as it is on both sides

gh = 1/2v^2

Multiply by 2

2gh = v^2

Square root

v = √2gh

Now plug in

v = √2(9.8)(4)

v = 8.85 m/s

Now use the mass to calculate the momentum just before it hits the ground as this is the speed right before it hits the ground

p = mv

p = (3)(8.85)

p = 26.55 kgm/s

a bus travels 4 km due north and 3 km due west going from bus station a to bus station b. the magnitude of the bus displacement

ladessa [460]

Answer:

5km

Explanation:

Magnitude of displacement is found by getting the resultant. Resultant is same as the bypotenuse hence

$R=\sqrt {{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ where x is the displacement in west direction and y is displacement in North direction. Substituting x with 3km and y with 4 km then

$R=\sqrt {{3^{2}+4^{2}}=5km$

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The part of the earth and its atmosphere in which living organisms exist or that is capable of supporting life.

Explanation:

It’s in the definition of biosphere. “Bio” means “life,” so “biosphere” is that portion of the Earth capable of supporting life.

After a package is dropped from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is dropped? assume t

Ivenika [448]

Time taken by the package to reach the sea level= 13.7 s

height=h=925 m

initial velocity along vertical= vi=0

acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8 m/s^2

using the kinematic equation h= Vi*t + 1/2 gt^2

925=0(t)+1/2 (9.8)t^2

4.9 t^2=925

t= 13.7 s

Answers:

a) $T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) $a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds $V$ are given by:
