Answer:

The mechanical energy of this object is 10.8 Joules.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

$M.E=P.E+K.E$

$M.E=mgh+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the moving object

h = height at which an object is placed

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We have : m = 2 kg. v = 1 m/s , h = 1/2 m

$M.E=2 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times \frac{1}{2}m+\frac{1}{2}\times 2 kg \times (1 m/s)^2$

$M.E=9.8 J+1 J=10.8 J$

The mechanical energy of this object is 10.8 Joules.

Answer:

Looks like you have:

a = -.324 cos 2.5 t

In this case ω^2 A = .324

ω = 2.5

f = ω / (2 * pi) = 2.5 / 6.28 = .40 / sec

How much water can be held by a cylindrical tank with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 30 feet? A. 2,260.8 cubic feet B. 13,5

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Volume, V = 13564.8 cubic feet

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the cylindrical tank, r = 12 feet

Height of the tank, h = 30 feet

We need to find the water that can be held by a cylindrical tank i.e. we need to find the volume of the tank. It is given by :

$V=\pi\times r^2\times h$

$V=3.14\times (12)^2\times 30$

V = 13564.8 cubic feet

So, the water held by the tank is 13564.8 cubic feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

miv72 [106K]

Answer: 42

Explanation:

I will answer this in English.

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)
