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

Given the vector A with components Ax = 2.00, Ay = 6.00, the vector B with components Bx = 2.00, By = 22.00, and the vector D =
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°</em>

Explanation:

<u>Operations With Vectors</u>

Given two vectors in rectangular components:

\vec a=(ax,ay)\ ,\  \vec b=(bx,by)

The sum of the vectors is:

\vec a+\vec b=(ax+bx,ay+by)

The difference between the vectors is:

\vec a-\vec b=(ax-bx,ay-by)

The magnitude of \vec a is:

|\vec a|=\sqrt{ax^2+ay^2}

The angle \vec a makes with the horizontal positive direction is:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{ay}{ax}\\

The question provides the vectors:

\vec a=(2,6)

\vec b=(2,22)

\vec d=\vec a-\vec b

Calculate:

\vec d=(2,6)-(2,22)=(0,-16)

The magnitude of \vec d is:

|\vec d|=\sqrt{0^2+(-16)^2}=\sqrt{0+256}=16

The angle is calculated by:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-16}{0}

The division cannot be calculated because the denominator is zero. We need to estimate the correct angle by looking at the components of the vector. Since the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is negative, the vector points downwards (south), thus the angle must be -90° or 270° if the range goes from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°

The initial height of the water in a sealed container of diameter 100.0 cm is 5.00 m. The air pressure inside the container is 0
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a)  F = 2.66 10⁴ N, b)   h = 1.55 m

Explanation:

For this fluid exercise we use that the pressure at the tap point is

Exterior

          P₂ = P₀ = 1.01 105 Pa

inside

         P₁ = P₀ + ρ g h

the liquid is water with a density of ρ=1000 km / m³

         P₁ = 0.85   1.01 10⁵ + 1000   9.8  5

         P₁ = 85850 + 49000

         P₁ = 1.3485 10⁵ Pa

the net force is

         ΔP = P₁- P₂

         Δp = 1.3485 10⁵ - 1.01 10⁵

         ΔP = 3.385 10⁴ Pa

Let's use the definition of pressure

         P = Fe / A

         F = P A

the area of ​​a circle is

         A = pi r² = [i d ^ 2/4

let's reduce the units to the SI system

         d = 100 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 1 m

         F = 3.385 104 pi / 4 (1) ²

         F = 2.66 10⁴ N

b) the height for which the pressures are in equilibrium is

        P₁ = P₂

        0.85 P₀ + ρ g h = P₀

        h = \frac{P_o ( 1-0.850)}{\rho \ g}

        h = \frac{1.01 \ 10^5 ( 1 -0.85)}{1000 \ 9.8}

        h = 1.55 m
