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

Suppose a particle moves along a straight line with velocity v(t)=t2e−2tv(t)=t2e−2t meters per second after t seconds. How many

dimulka [17.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the particle moving in straight line is :

$v(t)=t^2e^{-2t}\ m/s$

We need to find the distance (x) traveled by the particle during the first t seconds. It is given by :

$x=\int\limits {v.dt}$

$x=\int\limits {t^2e^{-2t}dt}$

Using by parts integration, we get the value of x as :

$x=\dfrac{-(2t^2+2t+1)e^{-2t}}{4}\ meters$

Hence, this is the required solution.

In the national grid,what does the step up transformer do?

amm1812

In the National Grid, the Step Up Transformer increases the amount of voltage that is passing through the grid at any one time. These are used at power stations, as without them, there would not be enough power to transport the electricity around the national grid.
Hope this helps :)
