A 30-N stone is dropped from a height of 10 m and strikes the ground with a speed of 13 m/s.

Answer:

4.1 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using considerations about energy.

At the moment the stone is dropped, it has only gravitational potential energy:

PE=mgh

where

mg=30 N is the weight of the stone

h = 10 m is the initial height of the stone

As the stone falls, part of this energy is converted into kinetic energy, while part into thermal energy due to the presence of the air friction, acting opposite to the motion of the stone:

KE+E_t = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + E_t

where:

m=\frac{mg}{g}=\frac{30}{9.8}=3.06 kg is the mass

v = 13 m/s is the final speed of the stone

E_t is the thermal energy

The thermal energy is actually equal to the work done by the air friction on the stone:

E_t=W=Fh

where

F is the average force of friction

h = 10 m

Since the total energy must be conserved, we can combine the three equations, so we find:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+Fh

And solving for F, we find the average force of air friction:

F=\frac{mgh-0.5mv^2}{h}=\frac{(30)(10)-0.5(3.06)(13)^2}{10}=4.1 N

What is the probability of getting an even number on the roll of a six-sided die? 1/6 1/3 1/2
givi [52]

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space when a six sided die is thrown once is :

{ 1,2,3,3,5,6}

The even numbers are :

{2,4,6}

Therefore :

P(even) = n(even) / total number

That is

P(even) = 3/6

P(even) = 1/2

Is y=3x+4 a function?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

Every possible input x value is paired with a unique output y value.

Another approach is to graph the function then conduct the VLT (vertical line test) at which point you will realize that any vertical line will intersect the graph at one point only meaning it is a function.

Hope this helps.

what formulas could be used to determine the surface area of a cylinder sandwiched between one cone and half of a sphere?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Answer: Rectangle around the cylinder, Lateral surface of the cone, Half a sphere

To find this surface area, you have 3 different parts. First, you need the rectangular portion of the cylinder, because the circles will be on the inside of the composite shape. Then, you will need the lateral side of the cone, that's everything but the circular base. Again, the circle will be on the interior. Finally, you should find the surface area of half of the sphere.

One type of insect is 0.0052 meter long. What is this length in scientific notation?
____ [38]
Ok so...

You want to move the decimal point to the right until the number is greater than 1 but less than 10.

The number will end up being 5.2

You moved the decimal point 3 times to the right.
So it will be 5.2 x 10^-3. It is negative because you moved it to the right. The exponent would be positive if you moved it to the left
