At NASA's Zero Gravity Research Facility in Cleveland, Ohio, experimental payloads fall freely from rest in an evacuated vertica
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(a). Energy is 64,680 J

(b) velocity is 51.43m/s

(c) velocity in mph is 115.0mph

Explanation:

(a).

The potential energy P of the payload of mass m is at a vertical distance h is  

P =mgh.

Therefore, for the payload of mass m = 50kg at a vertical distance of h = 132 m, the potential energy is

P = (50kg)(9.8m/s^2)(132m)

\boxed{P = 64,680J}

(b).

When the payload reaches the bottom of the shaft, all of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy; therefore,

mgh= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2*9.8*135}

\boxed{v = 51.43m/s}

(c).

The velocity in mph is

\dfrac{51.43m}{s} * \dfrac{3600s}{hr} * \dfrac{1mile}{1609.34m}

\boxed{v= 115.0mph}

A 0.50-kg block slides across a tabletop with an initial velocity of 20 cm/s and comes to rest in a distance of 70 cm. Find the
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

FAE= 0.014 N

Explanation:

The KE of block is decreased because of the slowing action of the friction force .

Change in KE of block = work done on block by friction ƒ

⠀ ➪ ½mu²ƒ - ½mu²i = Fƒs cos θ

Because the friction force on the block is opposite in direction to the displacement , cos θ = -1

➢ Using Uƒ = 0 , Vƒ = 0.20 m/s , and s = 0.70 m

✒ We find ,

➪½mu²ƒ - ½mu²i = Fƒs cos θ

➪0-½ (0.50 kg) (0.20 m/s)² = (Fƒ) (0.70 m) (-1)

➪ Fƒ = 0.014 N

Hope this helped, can i pls have brainliest

Calculate the specific heat of a metal from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.8 kg and contains
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

C = 771.35 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Here, e consider the conservation of energy equation. The conservation of energy principle states that:

Heat Given by Metal Piece = Heat Absorbed by Water + Heat Absorbed by Container

Since,

Heat Given or Absorbed by a material = m C ΔT

Therefore,

m₁CΔT₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₃C₃ΔT₃

where,

m₁ = Mass of Metal Piece = 2.3 kg

C = Specific Heat of Metal = ?

ΔT₁ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 165°C - 18°C = 147°C

m₂ = Mass of Metal Container = 3.8 kg

ΔT₂ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

m₃ = Mass of Water = 20 kg

C₃ = Specific Heat of Water = 4200 J/kg°C

ΔT₃ = Change in temperature of water = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

Therefore,

(2.3 kg)(C)(147°C) = (3.8 kg)(C)(3°C) + (20 kg)(4186 J/kg°C)(3°C)

C[(2.3 kg)(147°C) - (3.8 kg)(3°C)] = 252000 J

C = 252000 J/326.7 kg°C

<u>C = 771.35 J/kg°C</u>

A stunt man jumps from the top of a building and lands 10 meters below his initial height. In case A, the stunt man lands on a s
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: electric field

Explanation: when a charge is placed in space, it alters the space around it by creating an electric field.

This electric field has the ability to exert a force (f) on any test charge(q) placed within this vicinity.

This is the reason why a charge can either attract or repel another charge.
