Two objects, a and b, are held one meter above the horizontal ground. the mass of b is twice as great as the mass of

1 answer:

5 0

Formula for potential energy is:
pe = m * g * h
Where:
m = mass of an object
g = gravitational acceleration
h = height at which object is placed

From this equation we can make conclusion that increasing mass also increases potential energy. Object b has double the mass so it has double the potential energy.
Object a:
pe = m * 9.81 * 1
pe = 9.81 J
Object b:
pe = 2m * 9.81 * 1
pe = 19.62 J

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.

9. A plane starts at rest & accelerates along the ground before takeoff. It

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

9.877 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

d = (1/2)at^2

(1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
