Patrick is repairing the roof on his house. He uses a hammer having a mass of 1 kilogram. While working at the apex of the roof,

the hammer slips and falls to the ground at a velocity of 12 meters/second. Find the potential energy of the hammer just before slipping.

Answer:

72 joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.

since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)

therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

b)

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2

How much power is generated if 375 J of work is done in 15 s?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: 25 watt

Explanation:

Given,

Work= 375 j

Time= 15

So, power = W÷t

= 375 ÷ 15

= 25 watt

morpeh [17]

Answer:

First Order Neurons

Explanation:

First Order Neurons

The main function of First Order Neurons is to deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord.

In Actual there are three orders of neurons, the first order neuron carry signals from periphery to the spinal chord, the second order neuron carry signal from from spinal chord to the thalamus. And the third order neurons carry signals to the primary sensory cortex.
