Answer:

50 swings = 2 mins 40 secs

=> 50 swings = 160 secs

=> 1 swing = 160 / 50 secs

=> 1 swing -= 3.2 secs

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!!

Thank You!!

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?

Rama09 [41]

The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J$

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
$K_f = 0 J$
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
$W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J$
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:

Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

h = $\frac{P.E }{mg}$

For 2.0 x 10³ J;

h = $\frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}$ = 0.204m

For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;

h = $\frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 20.4m

For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J;

h = $\frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 0.102m

A 1.0 m string with a 5 g stopper on the end is whirled in a vertical circle. The speed of the stopper is 8 m/s at the top of th

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

At the bottom of the circle , the potential energy of the stopper is converted into kinetic energy

1/2 m V² = mg x 2r + 1/2 mv²

m is mass of stopper , V is velocity at the bottom , r is radius of the circular path which is length of the string , v is velocity at the top

1/2 V² = g x 2r + 1/2 v²

V² = g x 4r + v²

V² = 9.8 x 4 + 8²

V² = 103.2

V = 10.16 m/s

B )

If T be the tension at the top

Net downward force

= mg + T . This force provides centripetal force for the circular motion

mg +T = mv² / r

T = mv²/r -mg

= m ( v²/r - g )

= .005 ( 8²/1 -g )

= .005 x 54.2

= .27 N .

C ) At the bottom

Net force = T - mg , T is tension at the bottom , V is velocity at bottom

T-mg = mV²/r

T = m ( V²/r +g )

= .005 ( 10.16²/1 +9.8)

= .005 x 113

= .56 N .

Suppose a gliding 2-kg cart bumps into, and sticks to, a stationary 5-kg cart. If the speed of the gliding cart before the colli

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

$v_{f}=4\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Glidding Cart = m₁ = 2 kg

Mass of Stationary Cart = m₂ = 5 kg

Initial velocity of Glidding Cart = u₁ = 14 m/s

Initial velocity of Stationary Cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

To Find:

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision = $v_{f}=?$

Solution:

Law of Conservation of Momentum:

For a collision occurring between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

It is denoted by "p" and given by

Momentum = p = mass × velocity

Hence by law of Conservation of Momentum we hame

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Here after collision both are stuck together so both will have same final velocity,

$m_{1}\times u_{1}+m_{2}\times u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v_{f}$

Substituting the values we get

$2\times 14 + 5\times 0 =(2+5)\times v_{f}$

$v_{f}=\dfrac{28}{7}=4\ m/s$

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

$v_{f}=4\ m/s$

Compare a cup of hot coffee with the Pacific Ocean. Which statement about thermal energy and temperature is correct?

Keith_Richards [23]

The answer is D

The body of water contains more molecules; more molecules, more kinetic energy, which creates thermal energy.

The molecules are moving faster is the coffee, so the temperature is higher.
