Hi there!

We know that:

U (Potential energy) = mgh

We are given the potential energy, so we can rearrange to solve for h (height):

U/mg = h

g = 9.81 m/s²

m = 30 g ⇒ 0.03 kg

0.062/(0.03 · 9.81) = 0.211 m

A spaceship accelerates from 0 m/s to 60 m/s north in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration of the spaceship?
Vesna [10]
Acceleration = ( final velocity - intial velocity ) / time

= (60-0)m/s / 3s
= 20 m/s2

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

C. Series

Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,

If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.

How am I supposed to solve this?
RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.
