Answer:

The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of cat = 7 kg

Height of bookshelf = 2 m

The gravitational potential energy :

The gravitational potential energy is the product of the mass of the object, gravity and height of the object from the ground.

The gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is

$P.E = mgh-0$

$P.E = 7\times9.8\times2-0$

$P.E=137.2\ J$

Hence, The cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor is 137.2 Joules.

PE = mgh
Mass, m = 7kg, g ≈ 10 m/s², height = 2m

= 7*10*2

= 140 Joules.

A stone with a mass of 0.100kg rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 2.50g traveling horizontally at 500

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of stone (M) = 0.100 kg

mass of bullet (m) = 2.50 g = 2.5 ×10 ⁻³ kg

initial velocity of stone ( $u_{stone}$ ) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity of bullet ( $u_{bullet}$ ) = (500 m/s)i

Speed of the bullet after collision ( $v_{bullet}$ ) = (300 m/s) j

Suppose we represent $(v_{stone})$ to be the velocity of the stone after the truck, then:

From linear momentum, the law of conservation can be applied which is expressed as:

$m*u_{bullet} + M*{u_{stone}}= mv_{bullet}+Mv_{stone}$

$(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i+0 = (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j + (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}$

$(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i- (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j= (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}$

$v_{stone}= (1.25\ kg.m/s)i-(0.75\ kg m/s)j$

$v_{stone}= (12.5\ m/s)i-(7.5\ m/s)j$

∴

The magnitude now is:

$v_{stone}=\sqrt{ (12.5\ m/s)^2-(7.5\ m/s)^2}$

$\mathbf{v_{stone}= 14.6 \ m/s}$

Using the tangent of an angle to determine the direction of the velocity after the struck;

Let θ represent the direction:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\dfrac{-7.5}{12.5})$

$\mathbf{\theta = 30.96^0 \ below \ the \ horizontal\ level}$

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th

PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

$Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}$

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight = $m\times g$

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.81m/s^2$

l = length of wire = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section = $\pi r^2$

r = radius of the wire = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m$ (Conversion factor: 1 m = 1000 mm)

$\Delta l$ = change in length = 1.99 mm = $1.99\times 10^{-3}m$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces

saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is $Z = 129.9 N$

The magnitudes of the resultant force is $R = 256.047 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The force is $F = 187 \ lb$

The angle made with second force $\theta_o = 73 ^o 36' = 73 + \frac{36}{60} = 73.6^o$

The angle between the resultant force and the first force $\theta _1 = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60} = 29.0167^o$

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

The magnitude of the second force is Z N

The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

$\frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 } = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}$

Substituting values

$\frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}$

$267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}$

$Z = 129.9 N$

According to cosine rule

$R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }$

Substituting values

$R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2 + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}$

$R = 256.047 N$
