5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

An object falling loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy. The gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy released when the water falls. ... At 0, all the energy is in gravitational potential energy.

A ball rolls from 10 m to -25 m in 2.5 seconds. What was<br> its average velocity?<br> (Units = m/s)

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

v = -14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial location of the ball, X₁ = 10 m

Final position of the ball, X₂ = -25 m

Time taken to travel is, t = 2.5 s

The average velocity of the ball is given by the formula,

V = X₂ - X₁ / t m/s

Substituting the values in the above equation,

V = -25 - 10 / 2.5

= -14 m/s

The negative sign in the velocity indicates that ball rolls in the opposite direction.

Hence, the average velocity of the ball is v = -14 m/s

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a) 104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:

F= Fx/cos30°

Substitute for Fx from given data:

Fx=90 N/cos30°

=104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

Fy = Fsin 30°

Substitute for F from part (a):

Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)

= 52 N

When a 5.0kg cart undergoes a 2.2m/s increase in speed, what is the impulse of the cart

Karolina [17]

Answer:

11.0 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the cart is equal to its change in momentum:

$I=\Delta p=m\Delta v$

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the cart

$\Delta v=2.2 m/s$ is its change in speed

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$I=(5.0kg)(2.2 m/s)=11 kg m/s$

A 58 kg skier is going down a 35 degree slope. The areaof each

maxonik [38]

To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.

In general, the normal force would be equivalent to

$N = mgcos\theta$

Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two

$N' = \frac{mgcos\theta}{2}$

Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

Replacing F with N'

$P = \frac{N'}{A}$

$P = \frac{\frac{mgcos\theta}{2}}{A}$

Our values are given as,

$m = 58kg$

$g = 9.8m/s^2$

$\theta = 35\°$

$A = 0.3m^2$

Replacing we have that

$P = \frac{\frac{(58)(9.8)cos(35)}{2}}{0.3}$

$P = 776.01Pa$

Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa
