A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s

natima [27]

Answer:

29.16 J

Explanation:

From Hook's law,

W = 1/2(ke²)..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, k = Spring constant, e = extension.

Given: W = 9 J, e = 0.5 m.

Substitute into equation 1

9 = 1/2(k×0.5²)

Solve for k

k = 18/0.5²

k = 72 N/m.

The work done required to stretch the spring by additional 0.4 m is

W = 1/2(72)(0.4+0.5)²

W = 36(0.9²)

W = 29.16 J.

g If the x-component of a force vector is 5.69 newtons and its y-component is 8.00 newtons, then what is its magnitude?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

F = 9.82 N

Explanation:

given,

Force x-component = 5.69 N

Force y-component = 8 N

magnitude of force = ?

Resultant of force

F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}

F = \sqrt{5.69^2 + 8^2}

F = \sqrt{32.3761 + 64}

F = \sqrt{96.3761}

F = 9.82 N

Hence, the magnitude of force is equal to 9.82 N
