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

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi
Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

where ;

m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial  velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2

Given in the question that;

m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?

Apply the formula as;

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

You connect five identical resistors in series to a battery whose EMF is 12.0 V and whose internal resistance is negligible. You
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total resistance in the circuit

= EMF / current in the circuit

= 12 / .969

= 12.383 ohm

This resistance consists of 5 identical resistances in series

resistance of each resistor

= 12.383 / 5

= 2.476 ohm .

potential difference on each

= current x resistance of each

= .969 x 2.476

= 2.399 V

= 2.4 V

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

Weight on planet Mars ​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Mars: 0.38

weight = mass x surface gravity

multiplying your weight on Earth by the number above will give you your weight on the surface of Mars

If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars

Inessa05 [86]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Acceleration = (4 m/s) / (8 seconds)
Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Force = (85 kg) x (0.5 m/s²)
Force = 42.5 Newtons
