Phantasy [73]

Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)

If 30.45 grams of water is to be heated up 3.3 degrees to make baby
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. 420 J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 30.45 g

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g °C.

Temperature = 3.3°C

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 30.45 * 4.18 * 3.3

Q = 420.03 ≈ 420 Joules

mina [271]
Newton's second law tells you: 

Sum of forces on an object = ma 

Here, the forces acting on the bundle are the tension in the string and the force of gravity, these two must combine to yield the acceleration of the bundle. 

So we have: 

T-mg = ma 

or T=m(g+a) 

We know m=8.7kg, we need to find a from the information 

starting from rest, an accelerating object covers distance according to: 

<span>dist = 1/2 at^2 </span>

to cover 1m in 1.8s, we have: 

a=2d/t^2 = 2x1/1.8^2 = 0.62 m/s/s 

Thus, the tension in the string is: 

<span>T = m(g+a)
=  8.7</span>kg(9.8m/s/s+0.62m/s/s) 
<span>
<span>T =  90.654 N

While standing on a bridge 40.0 m above the ground, you drop a stone from rest. when the stone has fallen 3.80 m, you throw a se
Norma-Jean [14]
Given: distance 1 d₁ = 40 m;  distance 2 d₂ = 3.8 m   g = -9.8 m/s²

 Initial Velocity Vi = 0  Final Velocity of stone 2 is unknown = ?

Total distance dₓ = d₁ - d₂  = 40 m - 3.8 m = 36.2 m

Formula: a = Vf² -  Vi²/2d   derive for Final Velocity Vf
 
acceleration is now due to gravity, therefore a = g

Vf = √2gd   Vf = √2(9.8 m/s²)(36.2 m)

Vf = 26.64 m/s  

Reason: The second stone will still start from rest.

Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates?<br> Explain.
Kitty [74]
Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.
