IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)
= 29.4 kg-m²/s² = 29.4 joules .
The object has potential and kinetic energy when it jumps into the air
It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:
where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get
50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h
h = 10.20 m
Answer:
The Heavier Firefighter
Explanation:
Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects. As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.
Answer:
71.85 m/s
Explanation:
Given the following :
Length of skid marks left by jaguar (s) = 290 m
Skidding Acceleration (a) = - 8.90m/s²
Final velocity of jaguar (v) = 0
Speed of Jaguar before it Began to skid =?
Hence, initial speed of jaguar could be obtained using the formula :
v² = u² + 2as
Where
v = final speed of jaguar ; u = initial speed of jaguar(before it Began to skid) ; a = acceleration of jaguar ; s = distance /length of skid marks left by jaguar
0² = u² + (2 × (-8.90) × 290)
0 = u² + (-5,162)
u² = 5162
Take the square root of both sides
u = √5162
u = 71.847 m/s
u = 71.85m/s
