<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.866 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

                      s = 3.68 m

      Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

        Displacement, s  = 7.36 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.

If a 6kg ball is hanging by a rope from the ceiling at rest, what is the tension of the rope?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

58.8 N

Explanation:

Since the ball is hanging at rest, the net force on the ball must be zero.

There are only two forces acting on the rope:

- Its weight, downward, given by W = mg, where m = 6 kg is the mass of the ball and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

- the tension in the rope, T, upward

Therefore, the equation for the forces is:

T-W=0

And solving for T, we find:

T=W=mg=(6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=58.8 N

Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.<u>FLASHLIGHT</u>:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.<u>ELECTRIC SAW</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.<u>TOASTER</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.<u>GAS POWERED SCOOTER</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.<u>THE SUN</u>:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.<u>WIND TURBINE</u>:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.<u>IPOD</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.<u>SPEAKER VIBRATES</u>

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.
