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.

Which elements will bond ionically with barium such that the formula would be written as BaX2? A) Nitrogen, chlorine, and sodium
erma4kov [3.2K]

The answer would be:

B. Chlorine, iodine and Fluorine

Barium has 2 valence electrons. To satisfy the BaX₂ , this would mean that Barium will need to give one of each of its electrons. The elements that need 1 electron would be those that have 7 valence electrons to complete the octet. These elements would fall in group 7 or halogens. Chlorine, iodine and fluorine are all in Group 7, so this would be the best choice.

A car traveling at 28 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 13 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Maru [420]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (zero) minus (28 m/s) = -28 m/s

Acceleration = (-28 m/s) / (13 sec)

Acceleration = -2.15 m/s²

The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity
bonufazy [111]

In linear motion , when a body moves with uniform velocity , in time t , its linear displacement will be ;

S = r∅     S = vt

r∅ =  vt

r.∅ / t = v

As

v = rw

where ∅ = 90° is the angle between between radius vector r  and angular velocity w (omega )

In case ∅ ≠ 90° , we can write v = r w sin∅

It gives us v = w× r

The pressure in a compressed air storage tank is 1200 kPa. What is the tank’s pressure in (a) kN and m units; (b) kg, m, and s u
elixir [45]

Explanation:

Given data

Pressure P=1200 kPa

To find

Pressure in

(a) kN/m²

(b) kg/m.s²

(c) kg/km.s²

Solution

For Part (a)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )\\P=1200kN/m^{2}

For Part (b)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )(\frac{1000kg.m/s^{2} }{1kN} )\\P=1,200,000kg/m.s^{2}

For Part (c)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )(\frac{1000kg.m/s^{2} }{1kN} )(\frac{100m}{1km} )\\P=1,200,000,000kg/km.s^{2}
