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.

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of diver  = 77kg

Height of jump  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the motion equation below:

             v²   = u²  + 2gH

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

       v² = 0²  +  2 x 9.8 x 8.18

     v  = 12.7m/s

Why do cells have receptors? Receptors make mRNA. Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell. Recepto
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: Cells have receptors because Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell.

Explanation:

Cell receptors also called transmembrane receptors are proteins located on the surface of a cell (extracellularly) or inside the cell which receive signals that alters the functions of the cell. The functions of the cells which can be altered includes the alteration in gene transcription and the cell morphology.

Cell receptors are generally categorizes into the following groups:

--> Internal receptors

--> cell surface receptors

--> ion channel receptors

--> G protein coupled receptors

--> enzyme linked receptors

Interaction of cell membrane receptors with specific ligands that bonds to the receptors causes conformational changes in the receptor protein. This in turn, enzymatically activates the intracellular part of the protein or induces interactions between the receptor and the proteins in the cytoplasm that act as second messengers, thereby relaying the signal from the extracellular part of the receptor to the interior of the cell. This enables the cell to know when to let things in or out of it through the information conveyed.

Which team sport utilizes judges to determine the points earned? Football Hockey Rhythmic Gymnastics Soccer
finlep [7]

Answer:

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Explanation:

In general, the judges in the sports tend to be in charge for correcting and controlling the breaking of the rules in the particular sport. They are allowed to punish the competitors in accordance with the breaking of the rule, or they are there in order to determine weather a point is regular or not. In the rhythmic gymnastics though, and sports similar to it, the judges have different role, as they are in charge of determining the points earned by the competitors. This is done in a manner where every judge gives certain amount of points, or grades, and when those are summed up, the competitors get their total points.

You're collecting data in BeyondLabz for an object in free fall, subject to air resistance. How do you know when you've collecte
denis23 [38]

Enough data points would have been collected when specific data for upward and downward motion are collected.

<h3>What is a Data point?</h3>

A data point is a discrete unit of information. This information is always unique.

<h3>Free fall</h3>

An object subjected to free fall is under the influence of gravity. An object subjected has different time of motion for upward and downward motion.

Thus, we can conclude that enough data points would have been collected when specific data for upward and downward motion are collected.
