If a high jumper needs to make his center of gravity rise 1.50 m, how fast must he be able to sprint? Assume all of his kinetic

energy can be transformed into potential energy. For an extended object, the gravitational potential energy is U = mgh, where h is the height of the center of gravity.

Answer:

v = 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the jumper = 1.5 m

velocity of sprinter = ?

kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

g h = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v =\sqrt{2gh}

v =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 1.5}

v = 5.42 m/s

Speed of the sprinter is equal to v = 5.42 m/s

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?
Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W
