How much kinetic energy does a 7.2-kg dog need to make a vertical jump of 1.2 m?
Answer:

85 Joule (approx)

Explanation:

Potential energy at highest point

P.E = mgh = 7.2 kg × 9.8 m/s2×1.2 m≈85 Joule

This is the kinetic energy required for dog to jump a height of 1.2 m.

hope this helps!

Answer:

Kinetic energy of dog is 84.67 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the dog, m = 7.2 kg

We have to find the kinetic energy does a 7.2-kg dog need to make a vertical jump of 1.2 m. We know that the energy of a system remains conversed. At highest point there is only potential energy. So, while taking a vertical jump the potential energy gets converted to potential energy.

So, $E_k=mgh$

here, h = 1.2 m

$E_k=7.2\times 9.8\times 1.2$

$E_k=84.67\ Joules$

Hence, the kinetic energy needed to make a vertical jump is 84.67 Joules.

Answer:

$v_{f2}$ =6.5% $v_{i1}$

Explanation:

Mass of the ball: $m_{1} =0.12kg$ ]

Initial velocity of the ball: $v_{i1}$

final velocity of the ball: $v_{f1}$ which is -30/100 of $v_{i1}$ = $-0.3v_{i1}$

Mass of the bottle: $m_{2} =2.4kg$

Initial velocity of the bottle: $v_{i2}=0m/s$

final velocity of the bottle: $v_{f2}$ is unknown (to find)

by using conservation momentum, which stated that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.

$m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} v_{i2} =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}$

so since the bottle is at rest firstly, therefore $v_{i2} =0$

$m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} (0) =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}$

$m_{1} v_{i1} =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}$ equation 1

so now substitute $v_{f1}$ into equation 1

$m_{1} v_{i1} =m_{1} (-0.3v_{i1} ) +m_{2} v_{f2}$

$m_{1} v_{i1} = -0.3m_{1}v_{i1} +m_{2} v_{f2}$

collect the like terms

$m_{1} v_{i1} +0.3m_{1}v_{i1} =m_{2} v_{f2}$

$1.3m_{1} v_{i1} =m_{2} v_{f2}$

divide both side by $m_{2}$

$v_{f2}=\frac{1.3m_{1} v_{i1}}{m_{2} }$

Now substitute

$v_{f2} =\frac{1.3*0.12*v_{i1}}{2.4}\\v_{f2} =\frac{0.156v_{i1} }{2.4} \\v_{f2} =0.065v_{i1}$

$v_{f2} =$ 6.5% $v_{i1}$

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$v=2.556m/s$

Explanation:

From the conservation of mechanical energy

$K_{E1}+U_1=K_{E2}+U_2$

$\frac{1}{2}m*v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_2^2$

$x_2=0.08m$

$v_1=0 m/s$

Solve to velocity v2

$m*v_2^2=k*x_1^2-k*x_2^2$

$v^2=\frac{k}{m}*(x_1^2-x_2^2)$

$v^2=\frac{5.5N/m}{0.24kg}*(0.54m^2-0.080^2)$

$v=\sqrt{6.54m^2/s^2}=2.556m/s$

An electron moves in a region where the magnetic field is uniform and has a magnitude of 80 μT. The electron follows a helical p

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

3.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Consider the circular motion of the electron

B = magnetic field = 80 x 10⁻⁶ T

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = radial speed

r = radius of circular path = 2 mm = 0.002 m

q = magnitude of charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

For the circular motion of electron

qBr = mv

(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (80 x 10⁻⁶) (0.002) = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) v

v = 2.8 x 10⁴ m/s

Consider the linear motion of the electron :

v' = linear speed

x = horizontal distance traveled = 9 mm = 0.009 m

t = time taken = $\frac{2\pi m}{qB}$ = $\frac{2\pi (9.1\times 10^{-31})}{(1.6\times 10^{^{-19}})(80\times 10^{-6})}$ = 4.5 x 10⁻⁷ sec

using the equation

x = v' t

0.009 = v' (4.5 x 10⁻⁷)

v' = 20000 m/s

v' = 2 x 10⁴ m/s

Speed is given as

V = sqrt(v² + v'²)

V = sqrt((2.8 x 10⁴)² + (2 x 10⁴)²)

v = 3.4 x 10⁴ m/s

How are families in perodic table determined

charle [14.2K]

1. The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior.

2. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.

3. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
