Answer:

(a) 3.13 m/s

(b) 9.9 m/s

(c) 7.73 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let v be the velocity of ball as it hit the ground.

(a) h = 0.5 m

Use third equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 0.5

v^2 = 9.8

v = 3.13 m/s

(b) h = 5 m

Use third equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 5

v^2 = 98

v = 9.9 m/s

(c) h = 10 feet = 3.048 m

Use third equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.048

v^2 = 59.74

v = 7.73 m/s

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of 3 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

\sum F_{r} = ma   (1)

Where \sum F_{r} represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

F_{x} + F{y} = ma  (2)

The forces present in x are F = 10 N and f = 4 N (the friction force):

F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N

Notice that f subtracts to F since it is at the opposite direction.

F_{x} = 6 N

The forces present in y balance each other:

F_{y} = 0

Therefore:

6 + 0 = ma  

6 N = (2kg)a  (3)

But 1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2} and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}  

a = 3 m/s^{2}

So the block has an acceleration of a = 3 m/s^{2}.

If Frequency F, velocity v, and density D are considered fundamental units, the dimensional formula for momentum will be :
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Let's see

Momentum be P

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P=[Frequency]^a[velocity]^b[Density]^c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [P]=[F]^a[v]^b[D]^c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [M^1L^1T^{-1}]=[T^{-1}]^a[L^1T^{-1}]^b[M^1L^{-3}]^c

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a}L^bT^{-b}M^cL^{-3c}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a-b}L^{b-3c}M^c

On comaparing

  • c=1

So

  • b-3c=1
  • b-3=1
  • b=1+3
  • b=4

and

  • -a-b=-1
  • -a-4=-1
  • -a=-1+4=3
  • a=-3

So the unit is

  • DV⁴/F³

A 2000 g of C 14 is left to decay radioactively the half-life of Corbin 14 is approximately 5700 years what fraction of that sam
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?
vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary  on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.
