A 10.0kg water balloon is dropped from a height of 12.0m. Calculate the speed of the balloon just before it hits the ground

Physics

kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago

Answer:

15.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Potential energy of the balloon has been converted to kinetic energy.

potential energy = kinetic energy.

mgh = ½mv².

10* 10* 12= ½ *10 *v²

1200 = 5v²

v²=1200÷5

v=√240

v= 15.49~15.5 m/s.

A ball is dropped from rest. What will be its speed when it hits the ground in each case. a. It is dropped from 0.5 meter above
Papessa [141]

Answer:

(a) 3.13 m/s

(b) 9.9 m/s

(c) 7.73 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let v be the velocity of ball as it hit the ground.

(a) h = 0.5 m

Use third equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 0.5

v^2 = 9.8

v = 3.13 m/s

(b) h = 5 m

Use third equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 5

v^2 = 98

v = 9.9 m/s

(c) h = 10 feet = 3.048 m

Use third equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.048

v^2 = 59.74

v = 7.73 m/s

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water. he can go upstream for 35 km in the same time it takes to
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Let F = the downstream speed of the water. 

<span>Then the boat's upstream speed is: 15 - F </span>
<span>The boat's downstream speed is: 15 + F </span>


<span>Assume both the journeys mentioned take T hours, then using "speed x time = distance" we get: </span>

<span>Downstream journey: (15 + F)T = 140 </span>
<span>Upstream journey: (15 - F)T = 35 </span>


<span>Add the two formulae together: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T + (15 - F)T = 140 + 35 </span>

<span>15T + FT + 15T - FT = 175 </span>

<span>30T = 175 </span>

<span>T = 35/6 </span>


<span>Use one of the equations to find F: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T = 140 </span>

<span>15 + F = 140/T </span>
<span>F = 140/T - 15 </span>
<span>F = 140/(35/6) - 15 </span>
<span>F = 24 - 15 </span>
<span>F = 9 </span>

<span>i.e. the downstream speed of the water is 9 kph </span>

<span>Therefore, the boat's speed downstream is 15 + F = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.
the answer is:                       *24kph*</span>

Many physical quantities are connected by inverse square laws, that is, by power functions of the form f(x)=kx^(-2). In particul
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

  • 4 times

Explanation:

Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is <em>inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source</em>, the form of the function is:

  • f(x) = k.x⁻²

Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.

Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :

F=k(x/2)^{-2}=\frac{k}{(x/2)^2}= \frac{k}{x^2}. 4=f(x).4

Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.
