Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

W_b = m_bg =  \\ \\  W_b = (0.730 \  kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s

m _w=0.64 \ kg

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

W_w = m_w g

W_w = ( 0.64  \ kg )(9.80\  m  \  /s^2)

W_w = 6.272 \ N

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )

F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

F_{scale = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N

A 1.0 kg ball falls from rest a distance of 19.6 m.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

192.08J

19.6m/s

Explanation:

Since there will be no potential energy when the ball is on the ground, the change in potential energy is equal to the potential energy at the start when the ball is 19.6m above the ground.

PE=mgh

=(1)(9.8)(19.6)

=192.08J

v²=u²+2as, where v is the final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is distance. Initial velocity is 0 since it starts at rest.

v²=u²+2as

v²=0²+2(9.8)(19.6)

v=√384.16

=19.6m/s

 How many centimeters are there in meter? b. 10 c. d 1000 e. 10000 100 2. A centimeter is equal to 1 inch b.½inch C 1/2.54 inch
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) \texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}

Explanation:

a) We have the conversion

         1 m = 100 cm

   So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm

    1cm=\frac{1}{2.54}inch

   \texttt{A cm is equal to }\frac{1}{2.54}\texttt{ inch}
