Answer:

1274 J.

Explanation:

P. E= mgh

where m = 5 kg

g = 9.8m/s²

h = 26m

P. E = 5*26*9.8

=1274 J.

You shoot an arrow into the air. Two seconds later (2.00 s) the arrow has gone straight upward to a height of 35.0 m above its l

sdas [7]

This question can be solved by using the equations of motion.

a) The initial speed of the arrow is was "9.81 m/s".

b) It took the arrow "1.13 s" to reach a height of 17.5 m.

We will use the second equation of motion to find out the initial speed of the arrow.

$h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\$

where,

vi = initial speed = ?

h = height = 35 m

t = time interval = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$35\ m = (v_i)(2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ s)^2\\\\v_i(2\ s)=19.62\ m\\\\v_i = \frac{19.62\ m}{2\ s}$

To find the time taken by the arrow to reach 17.5 m, we will use the second equation of motion again.

$h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\$

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 17.5 m

vi = initial speed = 9.81 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

$17.5 = (9.81)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2\\4.905t^2+9.81t-17.5=0$

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get:

t = -3.13 s (OR) t = 1.13 s

Since time can not have a negative value.

Therefore,

A 100-kg astronaut is floating in outer space. If the astronaut throws a 2-kilogram wrench at a speed of 10 meters per second, w

sergey [27]

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

$0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10$

$v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s$

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s

How could two waves on a rope interfere so the rope does not move at all?

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.
