Let h =  distance (m) to the water surface.

Initial velocity, u  = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
 h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
  where g = 9.8 m/s^2  (acc. due to graity)
              t = time (s)

h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m

A carpenter lifts a 10 kg piece of wood to his shoulder 1.5 m above the ground. What is the wood's potential energy on the carpe
Burka [1]

Answer:

The wood's potential energy on the carpenter's shoulder is 150 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wood, m = 10 kg

height through which the wood was raised, h = 1.5 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

The  wood's potential energy on the carpenter's shoulder is calculated as;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 10 x 10 x 1.5

P.E = 150 J

Therefore, the wood's potential energy on the carpenter's shoulder is 150 J.

F=K*X,
F=M*a 

M*a=K*X

2.5*9.81=K*0.0276

24.525=K*0.0276

24.525/0.0276=K

K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant 

assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get

981N/m

An uncharged capacitor is connected to a 21-V battery until it is fully charged, after which it is disconnected from the battery
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The voltage bewtween the plates will be 9.5V

Explanation:

Facts:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor having plate area A and plate separation d is C=ϵ0A/d.  

Where ϵ0 is the permittivity of free space.  

A capacitor filled with dielectric slab of dielectric constant K, will have a new capacitance C1=ϵ0kA/d

        C1=K(ϵ0A/d)

        C1=KC   ----------- 1

Where C is the capacitance with no dielectric and C1 is the capacitance with dielectric.

The new capacitance is k times the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric slab.  

This implies that the charge storing capacity of a capacitor increases k times that of the capacitor without dielectric slab.

Given points

• The terminal voltage of the battery to which the capacitor is connected to charge V=25V

• A dielectric slab of paraffin of dielectric constant K=2  is inserted in the space between the capacitor plates after the fully charged capacitor is disconnected

The charge stored in the original capacitor Q=CV

The charge stored in the original capacitor after inserting dielectric Q1=C1V1

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy stored is constant:

i.e Charge stored in the original capacitor is same as charge stored after the dielectric is inserted.

Q   =  Q1

CV = C1V1

  CV = C1V1  -------2

We derived C1=KC from equation 1. Inserting this into equation 2

   CV = KCV1

 V1 = (CV)/KC

         V/K

       = 21/2.2

      = 9.5
