A book is sitting on a shelf that is 3.0 meters off the ground. Kinetic energy is found using the formula 1/2 times mass times s

peed. Potential energy is found by taking mass times g times height, with g as the constant, 9.8 m/s squared. What is needed to determine the mechanical energy used to move this book?

The only thing in either one of those formulas that we don't know is the mass of the book.

A person doing chin-up weighs 700.0 N, disregarding the weight of the arms. During the first 25.0 cm of the lift, each arm exert
dlinn [17]
First, we will get the resultant force:
The direction of the force due to the person's weight is vertically down.
weight of person = 700 newton

Assume that the force exerted by the arms has a vertically upwards direction.
Force exerted by arms = 2*355 = 710 newtons

Therefore, the resultant force = 710 - 700 = 10 newtons (in the vertically upwards direction) 

Now, we will get the mass of the person.
weight = 700 newtons
weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
700 = 9.8*mass
mass = 71.428 kg

Then we will calculate the acceleration of the resultant force:
Force = mass*acceleration
10 = 71.428*acceleration
acceleration = 0.14 m/sec^2

Finally, we will use the equation of motion to get the final speed of the person.
V^2 = U^2 + 2aS where:
V is the final velocity that we need to calculate
U is the initial velocity = 0 m/sec (person starts at rest)
a is the person's acceleration = 0.14 m/sec^2
S is the distance covered = 25 cm = 0.25 meters

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the final speed as follows:
V^2 = U^2 + 2aS
V^2 = (0)^2 + 2(0.14)(0.25)
V^2 = 0.07
V = 0.2645 m/sec

Based on the above calculations:
The person's speed at the given point is 0.2645 m/sec

A 4kg brick is dropped from the top of a building whose hight is 30m.what is the velocity with which it reaches the ground​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

=24.25 ^−1

Explanation:

Let   and   be initial and final velocity of the body respectively,  

be acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8^−2 ),  ℎ be the height of the body.

=0 ^ −1

ℎ=30

we know that, ^2−^ 2=2ℎ

^2=2∗9.8∗30

^2=588

=24.25 ^−1

Suppose that two Scientists use different measurement systems in their work. What problems might arise if they shared their data
alexandr402 [8]

In order to understand the results of another scientist's work, any scientist
who reads the report MUST understand the measurement system in which
the result is described.  Otherwise the result is meaningless to him.
