<span>Calculating for potential energy P.E=mgh
m=mass
g=acceleration due to gravity
h=height
</span>Let the twig's mass be M<span> 
</span><span>
therefore at the start, the twig has 200*9.8*M potential energy. 

</span>During its fall 40% twig's energy is converted into thermal energy and the remaining <span>60% of this will turn into kinetic energy during the fall, giving us 1176M
Now the equation for kinetic energy, K.E is 0.5*m*v^2
m is mass
v is velocity

Therefore 1176M=0.5*M*v^2 (mass will divide out)
velocity is </span><span>48.49 m/s</span>

At each corner of a square of side l there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q.What is the magnitude and direction
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

|F_T|=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

Explanation:

I attached an image below with the scheme of the system:

The total force on the charge 2Q is the sum of the contribution of the forces between 2Q and the other charges:

F_T=F_Q+F_{3Q}+F_{4Q}\\\\F_T=k\frac{(Q)(2Q)}{R_1}\hat{i}+k\frac{(3Q)(2Q)}{R_2}\hat{j}+k\frac{(4Q)(2Q)}{R_3}[cos\theta \hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]

the distances R1, R2 and R3, for a square arrangement is:

R1 = L

R2 = L

R3 = (√2)L

θ = 45°

F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[cos(45\°)\hat{i}+sin(45\°)\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

and the magnitude is:

|F_T|=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}\sqrt{3^2+5^2}=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

Kai swims for the school swim team. He specializes in a backstroke event where he has to swim the 50 m length of the pool three
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Displacement is 50 m

Explanation:

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled.

Thus, since he swims the 50m length pool 3 times, then the total distance = 50 × 3 = 150 m

Whereas, displacement is the measurement of length of the shortest path from initial point to final point.

In this case initial point to final point is 50m. Thus, the displacement is 50 m

Two or more velocities add by ____?<br><br> Plz help
VladimirAG [237]
By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.
