Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.5}=15.02098532  m/s\approx 15 m/s

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.40 m and a spring constant of 340 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(a) Both the charges are positive or negative.

(b) Teh value of each charge is 1.53 x 10^-5 C.

Explanation:

Spring constant, K = 340 N/m

Natural length, L = 0.4 m

stretch, y = 0.033 m

(a) Let the charge on each sphere is q and they repel each other so the nature of charge of either sphere may be both positive or both negative.  

(b) The electrostatic force is balanced by the spring force.

\frac{kq^2}{(L + y)^2}=Ky\\\\\\\frac{9\times 10^9 q^2}{(0.4 +0.033)^2} = 340\times0.033\\\\q= 1.53\times 10^{-5} C

A cart rolling down an incline that is 60 meters long. If the cart has a beginning speed of 2.0 m/s and it
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 60 m

v₀ = 2.0 m/s

v = 22 m/s

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(22 m/s)² = (2.0 m/s)² + 2a (60 m)

a = 4 m/s²

A stone thrown horizontally from a height of 5.72 m hits the ground at a distance of 13.30 m. Calculate the initial speed of the
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

initial velocity=12.31 m/s

Final speed= 16.234 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data

height=5.72 m

distance=13.30 m

To Find

Initial Speed=?

Solution

Use the following equation to determine the time of the stone is falling.  

d = vi ×t   ½ ×9.8 × t²

Where  

d = 5.72m and vi = 0 m/s

so  

5.72 = ½× 9.8 ×t²

t = √(5.72 ÷ 4.9)

t=1.08 seconds

To determine the initial horizontal velocity use the following equation.

d = v×t

13.30 = v ×1.08

v = 13.30 ÷ 1.08

v=12.31 m/s

To determine stone’s final vertical velocity use the following equation

vf = vi+9.8×t............vi=0 m/s

vf = 9.8×1.08

vf= 10.584 m/s

To determine stone’s final speed use the following equation  

Final speed = √[Horizontal velocity²+Final vertical velocity²]

Final speed = √{(12.31 m/s)²+(10.584 m/s)²}

Final speed= 16.234 m/s

How do I solve this???
Naya [18.7K]

The projectile maintains its horizontal component of speed because there's nothing exerting any horizontal force on it. <em>(b) </em>

Gravity has no effect on horizontal motion.
