Question:
exis [7]

Answer:

She can swing 1.0 m high.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

And the potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of Jane.

v = velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

h = height.

Then:

ME = KE + PE

Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:

ME = KE + PE      (PE = 0)

ME = KE

ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²

ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²

When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:

ME = KE + PE      (KE = 0)

ME = PE

ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:

m · 10.125 m²/s² =  m · 9.8 m/s² · h

10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s²  = h

h = 1.0 m

She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).

The acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring, was written by this woman in 1962.
olga_2 [115]
Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment. 
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of projectiles fired from high-performance catapults. The catapults are place
anzhelika [568]

Answer:1.084

Explanation:

Given

mass of Pendulum M=10 kg

mass of bullet m=5.5 gm

velocity of bullet u

After collision let say velocity is v

conserving momentum we get

mu=(M+m)v

v=\frac{m}{M+m}\times u

Conserving Energy for Pendulum

Kinetic Energy=Potential Energy

\frac{(M+m)v^2}{2}=(M+m)gh

here h=L(1-\cos \theta ) from diagram

therefore

v=\sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}

initial velocity in terms of v

u=\frac{M+m}{m}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos \theta )}

For first case \theta =6.8^{\circ}

u_1=\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}

for second case \theta =11.4^{\circ}

u_2=\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}

Therefore \frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{\frac{M+m_1}{m_1}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 6.8)}}{\frac{M+m_2}{m_2}\times \sqrt{2gL(1-\cos 11.4)}}

\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\frac{1819.181\times 0.0838}{1001\times 0.1404}

\frac{u_1}{u_2}=1.084

i.e.\frac{v_1}{v_2}=1.084
