A partially filled bag of cement with mass of 16 kg falls 40 m into a river from a bridge. What is its speed just before it hits

the water?

Answer:

28 metres

Explanation:

when the bag is about to hit the ground

potential energy = kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

v = speed

when you simplify the above equation and make v subject of the formular we have

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

where g = 9.8m/s

h = 40

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 40}=28m$

Complete Question

The diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The distance the block slides before stopping is $d = 0.313 \ m$

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the diagram in the question is shown

From the diagram the angle is $\theta = 25 ^o$

$sin \theta = \frac{h}{d}$

Where $h = h_b - h_a$

So $d sin \theta = h_b - h_a$

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m = 20 \ kg$

The mass of the pendulum is $m_p = 2 \ kg$

The velocity of the pendulum at the bottom of swing is $v_p = 15 m/s$

The coefficient of restitution is $e =0.7$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu _k = 0.5$

The velocity of the block after the impact is mathematically represented as

$v_2 f = \frac{m_b - em_p}{m_b + m_p} * v_2 i + \frac{[1 + e] m_1}{m_1 + m_2 } v_p$

Where $v_2 i$ is the velocity of the block before collision which is 0

$= \frac{20 - (0.7 * 2)}{(2 + 20)} * 0 + \frac{(1 + 0.7) * 2 }{2 + 20} * 15$

Substituting value

$v_2 f = 2.310\ m/s$

According to conservation of energy principle

The energy at point a = energy at point b

So $PE_A + KE _A = PE_B + KE_B + E_F$

Where

$PE_A$ is the potential energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$PE_A = m_b gh_a$ = 0 at the bottom

$KE _A$ is the kinetic energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$K_A = \frac{1}{2} m_b * v_2f^2$

$PE_B$ is the potential energy at B which is mathematically represented as

$PE_B = m_b gh$

From the diagram $h = h_b -h_a$

$PE_B = m_b g(h_b - h_a)$

$KE _B$ is the kinetic energy at B which is 0 (at the top )

Where is $E_F$ is the workdone against velocity which from the diagram is

$\mu_k m_b g cos 25 *d$

So

$\frac{1}{2} m_b v_2 f^2 = m_b g h_b + \mu_k m_b g cos \25 * d$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} * 20 * 2.310^2 = 20 * 9.8 * d sin(25) + 0.5* 20 * 9.8 * cos 25 * d$

So

$d = 0.313 \ m$

Two electric charges A and B were placed facing each other at a distance of separation "r". The common electrostatic force betwe

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

From the formula of force:

$F = \frac{kAB}{ {r}^{2} } \\$

since AB and k are constants:

$F \: \alpha \: \frac{1}{ {r}^{2} } \\ \\ F = \frac{x}{ {r}^{2} }$

x is a constant of proportionality

• when force is 4N, separation distance is 1

$4 = \frac{x}{1} \\ x = 4$

therefore, equation becomes

$F = \frac{4}{ {r}^{2} } \\$

when r is doubled, r becomes 2. find F:

$F = \frac{4}{ {2}^{2} } \\ \\ F = \frac{4}{4} \\ \\ { \underline{force \: is \: 1N}}$
