A particle has 37.5 J of kinetic energy and 12.5 J of gravitational potential energy at one point during its fall from a tree to

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: 50J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy follows the same principles of kinetic energy and potential energy, it is conserved. So Ei = Ef.

Mechanical energy is the sum of ALL energy's. There is no friction, so its just kinetic plus potential.

37.5 + 12.5 = 50J

Since the particle has not touched the ground, it has not transferred any energy to the ground yet, therefore the mechanical energy must still be 50J; mostly in kinetic energy with a very small amount of potential because of the low height relative to the ground.

After robbing a bank, a criminal tries to escape from the police by driving at a constant speed of 55 m/s (about 125 mph). A pol

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

18.03 s

Explanation:

We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.

$x=vt\\x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{a}{2}t^2$

The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:

$x=(55m/s)t\\x=\frac{6.1m/s^2}{2}t^2=(3.05m/s^2)t^2$

Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:

$(55m/s)t=(3.05m/s^2)t^2\\(3.05m/s^2)t^2-(55m/s)t=0\\t((3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s)=0\\t=0 \\(3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s=0\\t=\frac{55m/s}{3.05m/s^2}=18.03 s$
