Kinetic energy (KE) is calculated through the equation,
                                   KE = 0.5 mv²
where m and v are mass and velocity, respectively. Substituting the known values from the given above,
                                  KE = 0.5(50 kg)(5 m/s)² = 625 J
Thus, the kinetic energy of Jesse at the highest point is equal to 625 J.

A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 448 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.9 kg is attache
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the extension in the spring be x .

restoring force = weight of block

kx = mg

x = \frac{10.9\times9.8}{448}

= 23.84 cm

b )

When the elevator is going upwards

Restoring force = mg + ma

k x₁ = 10.9 ( 9.8 + 1.89 )

x₁ = 28.44 cm

( y coordinate will  be - ( 28.44 - 23.84 ) = - 4.6 cm )

c ) When the cable snaps , both elevator and block undergo free fall . In this case apparent g = 0

Since the spring is stretched by 28.44 cm , a restoring force continues to act on the block which is equal to

.2844 x 448

= 127.41 N

So a net acceleration a will act on the block

a = 127.41 / 10.9

= 11.68 m / s²

The block will undergo SHM with amplitude equal to 28.44 cm .

In space (no gravity or friction), you throw a ball with mass 0.1 kg at a target with mass 1 kg. You throw the ball at a speed o
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of  momentum in space to know the velocity of combination after the impact

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

.1 x 4 = ( 1 + .1 ) v₂

v₂ = .3636 m /s

1  )  

Kinetic energy of the combination

= 1/2 x 1.1 x ( .3636)²

= 7.3 x 10⁻² J

2 )

Initial kinetic energy of the system

= 1/2 x 0.1 x 4²

= 0.8 J

Final  kinetic energy of the system = 7.3 x 10⁻²

Loss of energy = .8 - .073

= .727 J

This energy was converted into internal energy of the system .

3 )

increase in entropy = dQ / T

Here dQ = .727 J

T  = 300 ( Constant )

dQ / T = 2.42 X 10⁻³ J/K

Understand that the acceleration vector is in the direction of the change of the velocity vector. In one dimensional (straight l
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

 a = √ (a_t² + a_c²)

a_t = dv / dt ,    a_c = v² / r  

Explanation:

In a two-dimensional movement, the acceleration can have two components, one in each axis of the movement, so the acceleration can be written as the components of the acceleration in each axis.

            a = aₓ i ^ + a_y j ^

Another very common way of expressing acceleration is by creating a reference system with a parallel axis and a perpendicular axis. The axis called parallel is in the radial direction and the perpendicular axis is perpendicular to the movement, therefore the acceleration remains

         a = √ (a_t² + a_c²)

where the tangential acceleration is

           a_t = dv / dt

the centripetal acceleration is

          a_c = v² / r

Precipitation tends to be _______ on the _______ side of a mountain because water vapor _______ as it rises there.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Higher, Windward side, Condenses

Explanation:

The Windward side refers to that side of a mountain that faces the direction from which the wind is blowing. In this direction, the moisture containing hot air blowing from a distant place moves upward and strikes the mountain at a greater height, where the air mass is thin and the temperature is relatively cold. As the temperature and pressure decrease with altitude, the hot uprising air cools and gradually condenses. This results in the occurrence of high precipitation over this region i.e. the windward side of the mountain.

Therefore, the precipitation is always higher on the windward side of a mountain as the hot air undergoes condensation at greater height as it rises upward.

two vectors have a magnitude of 2.5km and 6.5 km . Predict the maximum and minimum magnitudes of their resultant vector
agasfer [191]

The maximum magnitude of their resultant vector is when the two vectors are parallel and in the same direction, so they lie on the same axis. In this case, the magnitude of their resultant vector is simply the sum of the two magnitudes:

R=2.5 km+6.5 km=9.0 km


The minimum magnitude of their resultant vector is when the two vectors are parallel but in opposite direction. In this case, the magnitude of their resultant vectors is just the difference between the two magnitudes:

R=6.5 km-2.5 km=4.0 km
