Answer:

Maximum height, h = 1.74 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

A potato is shot out of the cylinder. It is a case of projectile motion. The potato makes an angle of 17 degrees above the horizontal.

Initial speed with which the potato is shot out, u = 20 m/s

We have to find the maximum height of the potato. The maximum height of a projectile (h) is given by the following formula as :

h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

Where

\theta = angle between the projectile and the surface

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{(20\ m/s)^2sin^2(17)}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 1.74 m

or h = 1.74 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A garage door opener has a power rating of 350 watts.
Lelechka [254]
We Know, Power = Energy/Time
Substitute the known value. which is P = 350 watt, & T = 30 sec
350 = E/30 
E = 350 * 30
E = 1050 Joules.

So, your answer is 1050 Joules.
Hope this helps! Keep studying!

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Kamila [148]

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.

2. Answer: Gravity

Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.

Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.

3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.

Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.

4. Answer: 254 N

The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of  55 degrees to the horizontal.

we can write this in terms of horizontal (F cos \theta)and vertical component (F sin\theta).

Horizontal component: F_H=310 \times cos (55^o)= 178 N

Vertical component: F_v=310 \times sin (55^o)= 254 N

The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.

a load of 45 N attached to a spring that is hanging vertically stretches the spring 0.14 m. What is the spring constant?
zhenek [66]
According to Hooke's law, Force = spring constant x displacement of the spring. Spring constant = Force/displacement in spring = 45/0.14 = 321.42 N/m. Hope this helps!

A body of mass 5.0 kg is suspended by a spring which stretches 10 cm when the mass is attached. It is then displaced downward an
Dominik [7]

Answer:

position as a function of time is y = 0.05 × cos(9.9)t

Explanation:

given data

mass = 5 kg

length = 10 cm = 0.1 m

displaced = 5 cm

to find out

position as a function of time

solution

we will apply here equilibrium that is

mass × g = k × length

put here value and find k

k = \frac{5*9.8}{.01}

k = 490 N/m

and ω is

ω = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

ω = \sqrt{\frac{490}{5} }

ω = 9.9

so here position w.r.t  time is

y = 0.05 × cosωt

y = 0.05 × cos(9.9)t

so position as a function of time is y = 0.05 × cos(9.9)t
