Answer:

1) 6 seconds

2) 60 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 180 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

1) Find t.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

180 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 6 s

2) Find v.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (180 m)

v = 60 m/s

Sladkaya [172]

The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.

If a 20 N object has been lifted 5 meters above the ground, how much gravitational potential energy does it have?

Andreyy89

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

$GPE = mgh$

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

$GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J$

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W

Airida [17]

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 35-g object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard.

alukav5142 [94]

To develop this problem it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency of a spring mass system, for which it is necessary that its mathematical function is described as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
