A block with a mass of 8.7 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 8.7 m, and remains at rest after hitting the ground. 1)If we

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravitational potential energy.

This can be defined as the product between mass, gravity and body height.

Mathematically it can be expressed as

\Delta P = mgh

\Delta P = (8.7)(9.8)(3)

\Delta P = 255.78J

Therefore the change in the internal energy of the system is 255.78

Whenever possible, these types of power plants should be built because they generate virtually no pollution. (2 points)
geniusboy [140]
Wind farms, solar collectors, and nuclear power plants generate no pollution.

But wind farms make noise, wind and solar are both hazardous to birds, and there's no known means of disposing of nuclear plant waste that's completely safe.

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket  = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

          s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

         v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

          t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

          s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m
