Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

              Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

                                E_{i}  = E_{f}

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

K.E_{i} + P.E_{i} = K.E_{f} + P.E_{f}       (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

                 K.E_{i} = 0    and    P.E_{i} = mgh          

and when it reaches the river, it has

       K.E_{f}  = 1/2mv^{2}    and   P.E_{f}  = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

                              0 + mgh = 1/2mv^{2} + 0

                                      mgh = 1/2mv^{2}

<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>

<em>                                           </em>gh = 1/2v^{2}

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

What determines who is the most important person
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Putting your partner first means his or her needs, feelings, and wellbeing take priority over other people or things. A “sense of we” forms as you maintain this priority on purpose each day. You protect your relationship from being destroyed or damaged. You tend to your connection so it feels good to you b

What the kinetic energy quantities in calculation pls help me​
Rashid [163]

Answer:

KE = 0.5 * m * v², where: m - mass, v - velocity.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s 2.

What is the magnitude of the sum of the two vectors A = 36 units at 53 degrees, and B =47 units at 157 degrees.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11)   Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82
