It's gravitational potential energy at the top will roughly equal it's kinetic energy when it was released (a little is lost to air resistance).  Note this will assume the release point is zero potential energy.  (we are free to define it that way, just letting you know).  Gravitational potential energy is mgh.
mgh=25J
h=25J/(0.5kg x 9.81m/s^2) = 5.097m
So it goes about 5.1 meters above the point where it was released

A mass of 0.34 kg is fixed to the end of a 1.4 m long string that is fixed at the other end. Initially at rest, he mass is made
frozen [14]

At time t seconds, the mass has angular speed

\omega = \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) t

and hence linear speed

v = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \omega = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) t

After 8 s, its linear speed is

v = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) (8\,\mathrm s) = 37.072 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \approx 37 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and has centripetal acceleration with magnitude

a = \dfrac{v^2}{1.4\,\rm m} \approx 981.667\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} \approx 980 \dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

To maintain this linear speed, by Newton's second law the required centripetal force should have magnitude

F = (0.34\,\mathrm{kg}) a \approx 333.767\,\mathrm N \approx \boxed{330 \,\mathrm N}

Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.

Hey

On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.

Hope it helped and made any sence at all.

Spiky bob your answerer.

Skater 1 has a mass of 45 kg and is at rest. Skater 2 has a mass of 50 kg and is moving slowly at a constant velocity of 3.2 m/s
algol13

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Force, F is given by ma where m is the mass of an object and a is acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. Since skaters with mass of 75 kg and 50 kg are moving at a constant speed, there is no acceleration hence F=50*0=0 and F=75*0=0

For skater of 45 kg, he is at rest to mean the initial and final velocitu of the skater is zero hence no acceleration, the force will be 45*0=0

Therefore, none of the skaters will experience a greater net force.

A swimmer is capable of swimming at 1.4m/s in still water. a. How far downstream will he land if he swims directly across a 180m
ozzi

Answer:

t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec   (time to swim horizontally across river)

S = 129 sec * V     where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream

The problem does not specify V the speed of the river
