A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,

and the top-to-bottom height of the window is 1.80 m. how high above the window top did the flowerpot go?

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

What do we have seasons on earth
Goryan [66]

Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun. 

So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half.  The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.

Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half of the Earth, and less directly on the top half.  The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.

The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.

What will happen when a light bulb is removed from the circuit below, leaving a gap?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The remaining light bulbs will go out.

Explanation:

The light bulb that was taken out routed power to the other light bulbs, there for, not giving power to the next light bulbs will make them turn off or, "go out". This may be incorrect, as you did not provide a picture of the circuit.

Answer:

5.33\ m/s

Explanation:

We\ know\ that,\\Momentum=Mass*Velocity\\p=mv\\Hence,\\Lets\ first\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5*0.2=1\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=2\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*2=0.6\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision'=1+0.6=1.6\ kg\ m/s

Hence,\\Lets\ now\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'After\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=v\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'After\ Collision'=0+0.3v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s

As\ we\ know\ that,\\Through\ the\ law\ of\ conservation\ of\ momentum,\\In\ an\ isolated\ system:\\Total\ Momentum\ Before\ Collision=Total\ Momentum\ After\ Collision\\Hence,\\1.6=0.3v\\v=\frac{1.6}{0.3}=5.33\ m/s
