Answer:
500 watts
Explanation:
Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.
In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:
200 N x 10 m = 2000 Nm
then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:
Power = 2000 / 4 Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts
Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.
Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is
Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.
It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes. This one isn't bad. The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.
b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No. That's silly.
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity.
c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.
d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.
Answer:
5.740 m
Explanation:
PE = mgh
900.0 J = (16.00 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h
h = 5.740 m
Answer:
<h2>C. <u>
0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>
Explanation:
Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.
Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)
BEFORE COLLISION
Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s
Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s
AFTER COLLISION
Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s
<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>
Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =
0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s
Using the law of conservation of momentum;
0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125
0.25x = 0.25-0.1125
0.25x = 0.1375
x = 0.1375/0.25
x = 0.55m/s
Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>
<u></u>
