Answer:
2.45 J
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass (m) = 0.5 kg
Height (h) = 1 m
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
Next, we shall determine the velocity of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) = 1/2 = 0.5 m
Final velocity (v) =?
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 0.5)
v² = 9.8
Take the square root of both side
v = √9.8
v = 3.13 m/s
Finally, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 0.5 kg
Velocity (v) = 3.13 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.5 × 3.13²
KE = 0.25 × 9.8
KE = 2.45 J
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way is 2.45 J
<span>a) 1960 m
b) 960 m
Assumptions.
1. Ignore air resistance.
2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2
For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is
d = 1/2 AT^2
d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2
d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2
d = 4.9 * 400 m
d = 1960 m
For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes
d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T
d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s
d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m
d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m
d = 1960 m - 1000 m
d = 960 m</span>
I think it will reduce in speed because friction drags it to the opposite direction and it were the girls mass that was overcoming friction but i think it is newtons 2nd law of motion
Answer:
The Ferris wheel's tangential (linear) velocity if the net centripetal force on the woman is 115 N is <u>3.92 m/s</u>.
Explanation:
Let's use <u>Newton's 2nd Law</u> to help solve this problem.
The force acting on the Ferris wheel is the centripetal force, given in the problem: 
.
The mass "m" is the <u>sum</u> of the man and woman's masses: 
.
The acceleration is the centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel: 
.
Let's write an equation and solve for "v", the tangential (linear) acceleration.
The Ferris wheel's tangential velocity is 3.92 m/s.
