Answer:
281.25 J
Explanation:
We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.
Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.
Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3
Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;
½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J
(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375
(4/3)m × ½v² = 375
Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;
½mv² = 375 × ¾
½mv² = 281.25 J
Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J
Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion
.
Take initial velocity, u=0, so
.
As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula
From above substituting t,
.
Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get
.
Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.
The word to fill in the blank is "equal". Because the time taken to rotate (spin on its axis) is equal to the time of revolution (going around the earth), this means that both have the same rate of angular rotation. So for every bit that the moon goes around its orbit around earth, the moon itself rotates accordingly to present the exact same side to earth.
Answer:
500J
Explanation:
The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.
This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".
- The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
- This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
- This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
