Ep is gravitational potential energy
m is mass (kg)
g is gravitational field strength (N/kg)
h is height (m)

Ep= mgh
= 80kg*9.8N/kg*100m
= 78 400 J

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point
vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s

\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m

Therefore the frequency would be given as

f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}

f = 57.14Hz

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi *57.14

\omega = 359.03rad/s

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

V_{max} = A\omega

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)

V_{max} = 3.59m/s

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

A force of 25N acts on a mass of 5.0kg, initially at rest. Calculate the distance travelled before achieving a velocity of 20m/s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

40m

Explanation:

let's calculate the acceleration first

force = mass × acceleration

rearranging to find acceleration:

acceleration = force ÷ mass

force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg

acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2

we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance

rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is

s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a

v = 20, u = 0, a = 5

s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m

the distance is 40m

Describe how transverse waves can be produced by a rope. Then describe hiw pieces of the rope move as waves pass.
Oduvanchick [21]
We did this experiment before, when the rope moves, it represents the waves passing through in from the level of intensity. I hope this is a good answer.

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}

= 1,875 N
