Answer:

Explanation:

While the body is falling, it will not experience terminal velocity. As each time it keeps falling its speed will increase due to the acceleration of gravity g = 9.81[m / s^2]. Its final speed will be reached at the moment when the body touches or impacts the ground.

Brut [27]

Answer:

The gravity does a work of - 117.6 Joules.

The tension does not do work as the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion at any point in the trajectory.

Explanation:

The work done by the gravity simply is the difference in gravitational potential energy multiplied by -1:

$W_g = - \Delta E_p = - (mgh_f - m g h_i)$

where m is the mass of the ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity, $h_f$ is the final height and $h_i$ is the initial height.

So, if the radius is 2.00 m, then the difference of height will be 4 meters:

$W_g = - mg (h_f - h_i)$

$W_g = - 3.00 \ kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \ 4 \m$

$W_g = - 117.6 Joules$

As the tension is perpendicular to the velocity of the ball, the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion. So, the differential of work will be:

$dW = \vec{F} d\vec{r} = 0$

Consider a plywood square mounted on an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the square and passes through the center of t

belka [17]

Answer:

T= 8.061N*m

Explanation:

The first thing to do is assume that the force is tangential to the square, so the torque is calculated as:

T = Fr

where F is the force, r the radius.

if we need the maximum torque we need the maximum radius, it means tha the radius is going to be the edge of the square.

Then, r is the distance between the edge and the center, so using the pythagorean theorem, r i equal to:

r = $\sqrt{(0.38m)^2+(0.38m)^2}$

r = 0.5374m

Finally, replacing the value of r and F, we get that the maximun torque is:

T = 15N(0.5374m)

T= 8.061N*m

Tech A says that a relay is a one-way electrical check valve used in alternators to change AC into DC. Tech B says that a relay

Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is from Tech B.

Explanation:

The relay is an electromagnetic device, which is stimulated by a very weak electrical current to open or close a circuit. It functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit in which, by means of a coil and an electromagnet, a sequence of one or several contactors is activated that allow to open or close other electrical circuits independent of the one that controls it.

if you jump from a window that is 2 meters up you will most likely break the bones in your legs when you land however on a tramp

Gemiola [76]

<span>The de-acceleration or negative acceleration of stopping is what damages bones. The ground is rigid and therefore the change in momentum when striking the ground will be large. On the trampoline, the elasticity of the material means that the momentum changes more slowly, resulting in smaller accelerations.</span>
