A 4900 n gear box with a mass of 500kg falls to the ground. What is it’s acceleration due to gravity?

Answer:

9.8 m/s^2, towards the ground

Explanation:

For an object in free fall, the only force acting on it is the force of gravity. We can write it as

F=mg

where

F is called weight of the object

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We can re-arrange the equation as

g=\frac{F}{m}

For the box in the problem, we know:

F = 4900 N

m = 500 kg

Therefore, we can find the value of g:

g=\frac{4900}{500}=9.8 m/s^2

And the direction is the same as the force of gravity (downward).

Whats the word for when "velocity equals 0 and direction changes" Its 14 letters, and I have _ _ _ _ i _ _ _ _ _ h_ i _ _ t
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Maximum Height

Explanation:

The maximum height is the highest point reached by a projected body. At this point, final velocity, v of the body is equal to 0; because upward motion is at its peak and the body start to fall again.

Hence, final velocity v is always 0 at this maximum point and the direction of motion changes from upward to downward.

Final velocity at this maximum height is zero because of the directional change experied by the object and the fact that upward motion of the body terminates at this point.

Use differentials to estimate the amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 10 cm high and 10 cm in diameter if the me
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

dV = 32.98 cm³

Explanation:

We know that

V = f ( h,r)

dV= \frac{\partial V}{\partial r}dr+ \frac{\partial V}{\partial h}dh

We also know that

V=\pi r^2h

dV= 2\pi h dr + \pi r^2 dh

Given that

h= 10 cm

d=10 cm ,  r= 5 cm

Thickness = 0.05 cm so  dr = 0.05 cm

The metal in the top and the bottom is 0.2 cm thick  so dh = 0.2 + 0.2 cm

dh = 0.4 cm

Now by putting the values

dV= 2\pi h dr + \pi r^2 dh

dV= 2\times \pi \times 5\times 0.05 + \pi \times 5^2\times 0.4\ cm^3

dV = 32.98 cm³

When this pendulum swings, at which point is its kinetic energy the<br> highest? *
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The bottom/center of the pendulum

Explanation:

As it swings, the pendulum will have maximum potential energy at the top of its arc.

As it comes back towards the center that potential energy will convert into kinetic energy until it reaches the middle of its swing (when the pendulum is fully vertical) where all potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

This is when the kinetic energy is the highest

As it begins to move away from the center of its arc, that kinetic energy will convert into potential energy again, and the process repeats

Your laundry basket Please 22 is in your room is 3.0 M above you on the second floor it takes you 6.0 seconds to carry the laund
Rainbow [258]

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

Work done = (force to lift the object) x (distance lifted)

In this question, the force is the (weight of the basket)+(your weight).

Work done = (weight of basket+you) x (3 meters)

Time to do the work = 6 seconds.

Power = (weights x 3 meters) / (6 seconds)

<em>Power = (1/2)·(weight of the basket+you, in Newtons) watts</em>
