A child’s toy launches a model parachutist of mass 0.40 kg vertically upwards. The model parachutist reaches a maximum height of

8.5 m. Calculate a) the gravitational potential energy gained by the model parachutes, b) the minimum possible speed with which the model parachutist was launched. c) In practice, the launch speed must be greater than the value calculated in (b). Explain why? *

Answer:

(a) =34.0J

(b) = 13.038m/s

(c) =

Explanation:

(a) mass (m) =0.45kg

Height(h) =8.5m

Gravity (g) =10m/s^2

But P. E (Potential Energy) = mass × gravity × height

P. E = 0.45×10×8.5

P. E = 34.0J

(b) using v^2=u^2 - 2gs

Where v = final velocity

u= initial velocity

g = gravity

s =distance

But at maximum height <u>v</u><u> </u>=0

0^2= u^2 - 2gs

Transpose u^2 we have

u^2 = 2gs

u^2 = 2×10×8.5

u^2 = 170

u = square root of 170

u = 13.038m/s

two 2.5 kg balls move away from each other one traveling 3 m/s to the right the other 4 m/s to the left what is the magnitude of
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

2.5 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Taking left side as positive while right side direction as negative then

Momentum, p= mv where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of travel

Momentum for ball moving towards right side=mv=2.5*-3=-7.5 kg.m/s

Momentum for the ball moving towards the left side=mv=2.5*4=10 kg.m/s

Total momentum=-7.5 kg.m/s+10 kg.m/s=2.5 kg.m/s
