We will solve this question using the second law of motion which states that force is directly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
Where,
- F is force
- m is mass
- a is acceleration
In our case,
- F = ?
- m = 2500 kg
- a = 20m/s
<em>Thus, The force of 50000 Newton is required to accelerate a car of 2500 kg...~</em>
Because it's literally impossible to tell exactly where something that size is
located at any particular time.
And that's NOT because it's so small that we can't see it. It's because any
material object behaves as if it's made of waves, and the smaller the object is,
the more the size of its waves get to be like the same size as the object.
When you get down to things the size of subatomic particles, it doesn't make
sense any more to try and talk about where the particle actually "is", and we only
talk about the waves that define it, and how the waves all combine to become a
cloud of <em><u>probability</u></em> of where the particle is.
I know it sounds weird. But that's the way it is. Sorry.
Answer:
1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.
2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.
Explanation:
The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.
thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as
where
'v' is the final speed of the ball
'u' is the initial speed of the ball
'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 
's' is the distance it covers
Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get
Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as
the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as
Answer:
Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Spring constant = 85N/m
Extension, e = 0.75m
Mass = 25kg
To find the potential energy of a spring
Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;
P.E = ½ke²
Substituting into the equation, we have
P.E = ½*85*0.75²
P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625
P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules
P.E = 24 Joules
In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.
But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.
Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.
