All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

           Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from
ElenaW [278]
When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation vf^{2}=0+2*a*s    where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}      
vf =134.164 (m/s)  

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}
 
v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰P= \frac{v}{vf}=  \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707

A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 3.2 s later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/
Anastaziya [24]
Speed of sound = 340 m/s
Time taken for sound to reach observer = 3.2 seconds
Height = speed x time
= 340 x 3.2

What is the cost of operating a 100 W light bulb for "4 hrs per day" for 30 days, if the cost of electricity is 6 cents kW•h
Sidana [21]

Answer:

the cost of operating the light bulb is 72 cents.

Explanation:

Given;

cost of electricity, C = 6 cents / kW.h

power of light bulb, P = 100 W

time of light power consumption, t = 4 hours per day for 30 days

total time = 4 hours x 30 = 120 hours

Power consumed by the light bulb is calculated as;

P = 100 x 120 = 12000 w.h = 12 kW.h

Cost of power consumption = 6 cents/kWh x 12 kWh

                                               = 72 cents

Therefore, the cost of operating the light bulb is 72 cents.

Boyle's law says that the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure. when the volume of a certain gas is 5l, the pressu
Mrac [35]
Boyle's law states:
pV = C, where p = pressure, V = volume, C = constant.

Therefore,
p1V1 = p2V2

And the,
p2 = p1V1/V2
p1 = 512 kPa
V1 = 5l
p2 =?
V2 = 4l

Therefore,
p2= 512*5/4 = 640 kPa

Why is it always balloons?
anyways so the balloon volume goes somewhere else when it shrinks because the balloon is losing air i think
