Answer:

4086 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy less the frictional energy. Potential energy= mgh where m represent mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of cliff

Since we have force of air resistance, work done due to air resistance will be product of force and distance

mgh-Fh= 0.5mv^{2}= KE

Substituting 10 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 60 m for F then the kinetic energy at the bottom will be

KE= 10*9.81*60- (30*60)=4086 J

Ciara is swinging a 0.015 kg ball tied to a string around her head in a flat, horizontal circle. The radius of the circle is 0.7
Sophie [7]

Answer:

B) 1.2 N, toward the center of the circle

Explanation:

The circumference of the circle is:

C = 2πr

C = 2π (0.70 m)

C = 4.40 m

So the velocity of the ball is:

v = C/t

v = 4.40 m / 0.60 s

v = 7.33 m/s

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v² / r

T = (0.015 kg) (7.33 m/s)² / (0.70 m)

T = 1.2 N

The tension force is 1.2 N towards the center of the circle.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)

Below is the data from a gas law experiment comparing the pressure and the volume of a gas at a given temperature.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.

The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.

You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.

What would happen to the marbles speed if we had longer tables
Zanzabum

Answer:

The marble will start to decrease in speed

Explanation:

The longer the table is the more the marbles speed would decrease because marbles can only be fast for a certain amount of time
