Answer:

19.62 ms

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2 s

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (downward direction is taken as positive)

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2\\\Rightarrow v=19.62\ m/s

The speed of the pebble when it hit the water is 19.62 ms

A star produces 2x10^26 watts. how much energy does it lose every minutes
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Energy loss per minute will be 120\times 10^{26}j

Explanation:

We have given the star produces power of 2\times 10^{26}W

We know that 1 W = 1 J/sec

So 2\times 10^{26}W=2\times 10^{26}J/sec

Given time = 1 minute = 60 sec

So the energy loss per minute =2\times 10^{26}\times 60=120\times 10^{26}j

We multiply with 60 we have to calculate energy loss per minute

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 138 N/m. A 3.35 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

U_k = 0.113

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of energy:

E_i -E_f=W_f

\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=NU_kd

where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block, U_k is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.

Also, by laws of newton, N is calculated by:

N = mg

N = 3.35 kg * 9.81 m/s

N = 32.8635

So, Replacing values on the first equation, we get:

\frac{1}{2}(138)(0.123)^2= (32.8635)U_k(0.281m)

solving for U_k:

U_k = 0.113

65. A length of wire is bent into a closed loop and a magnet is plunged into it, inducing a voltage and, consequently, a current
natulia [17]

Answer:

Resistance of the second wire is twice the first wire.

Explanation:

Let us first see the formula of resistance;

R = pxL/A

Here L is the lenght of the wire, A the area and p is the resistivity of wire.

As we are given that the length of second wire is double than that of the first wire, hence the resistance of second wire would be double.

Since we have two loop in second case, inducing double voltage but as resistance is doubled so the current would remain same according to ohms law

I = V/R
