The world record for pole vaulting is 6.15 m. If the pole vaulter's gravitational potential energy is 4942 J, what is his mass?

g 9.8 m/s2
Physics

The gravitational potential energy is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object to the height and the gravitational acceleration which is 9.8 m/s^2. We do as follows:

GPE = mgh
GPE = 4942
4942 = m (9.8)(6.15)
m = 82 kg 

Hope this helps.

A brick is dropped from a high scaffold. a. What is its velocity after 4.0s ?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A: 1.962

B: 3.924

Explanation:

g = G *M /R^2

g = 9.807*M/R^2 the gravitational constant of ground level on earth is about 9.807

g = 9.807*5lbs/R^2 the average brick is about 5 pounds.

g = 9.807*5*10^2.   I'm assuming the height is around ten feet to help you out.

with these numbers plugged in you get an acceleration of 0.4905 a final velocity after 4 seconds 1.962. It's height fallen after 4 seconds is 3.924.

( M = whatever the brick weighs it's not specified in the question)

(R = the distance from the ground or how high the scaffold is)

(hopefully you can just plug your numbers in there hope this helps)

The density of aluminum is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 . the speed of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod is measured to be 5.1 × 103 m/s.
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2. So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density. So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave. Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>

How many carbon-14 atoms are left after 1 half-life
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The time it takes for 14C to radioactively decay is described by its half-life. C has a half-life of 5,730 years. In other words, after 5,730 years, only half of the original amount of 14C remains in a sample of organic material. After an additional 5,730 years–or 11,460 years total–only a quarter of the 14C remains.

I'm writing a story about Granny using old-fashioned laundry bluing to freshen dingy yellow clothes. I would like to explain WHY
Katena32 [7]

By combining blue with yellow light is like combining blue light with red and green light. The result of combining these three primary colors of light is to produce white light.

<h3>What is laundry bluing ?</h3>

Laundry bluing is a product adds a trace amount of blue dye to white fabric during laundering to improve its appearance.

Bluing products in higher concentrations can darken jeans and other blue cloth.

The blue overpowered the yellow to reflect white (at least the appearance of white to the human eye).

Blue and yellow are complementary colors that combine to reflect white, Fabrics.

Here,

Yellow light is a combination of red and green light. So combining blue with yellow light is like combining blue light with red and green light. The result of combining these three primary colors of light is to produce white light.
