Answer:

1.26 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 172 m

v₀ = 17.3 m/s

v = 27.1 m/s

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(27.1 m/s)² = (17.3 m/s)² + 2a (172 m)

a = 1.26 m/s²

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

A major-league pitcher can throw a ball in excess of 40.1 m/s. If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will it
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.

Explanation:

The position of the ball at time "t" is described by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

When the ball reaches the catcher, the position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure).

The x-component of the vector "r final", "rx final", will be 17.0 m. We have to find the y-component.

Using the equation of the x-component of the position vector, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the catcher (notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point so that x0 and y0 = 0):

x = x0 + v0x · t

17.0 m = 0 m + 40.1 m/s · t

t = 17.0 m/ 40. 1 m/s = 0.424 s

With this time, we can calculate the y-component of the vector "r final", the drop of the ball:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Initially, there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

y = 1/2 · g · t²

y = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.424 s)²

y = -0.881 m

The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

35

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage,V_1=120 V

Final voltage, V_2=5 V

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, N_p=840

Rms current, I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A

1 mA=10^{-3} A

We have to find the number of turns  are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Using the formula

\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}

N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35

Hence, there are  number of turns on the secondary coil=35
