Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy  = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy  = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh

v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s

Since mass = 3.8kg

K.E =  1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 3 s
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
  • Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}

Multiply time squared:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{h=44.1\ m}

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution
fredd [130]
The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion. 

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />

During a hard stop, a car and its passengers slow down with an acceleration of 8,0m/s^2. What magnitude force does a 50-kg passe
arlik [135]

Answer:

F = 400 N

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the car, a = 8 m/s²

The mass of the passenger, m = 50 Kg

The force acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass and its acceleration

                                    F = m x a   newtons

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                     F = 50 Kg x 8 m/s²

                                        = 400 N

Hence, the force exerted by the person on the seat belt is, F = 400 N
