Answer: Speed = 4 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are

Mass M = 60 kg

Height h = 0.8 m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 10 m/s2

Before the man jumps, he will be experiencing potential energy at the top of the table.

P.E = mgh

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.8

P.E = 470.4 J

As he jumped from the table and hit the ground, the whole P.E will be converted to kinetic energy according to conservative of energy.

When hitting the ground,

K.E = P.E

Where K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute m and 470.4 into the formula

470.4 = 1/2 × 60 × V^2

V^2 = 470.4/30

V^2 = 15.68

V = square root (15.68)

V = 3.959 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the man when hitting the ground is approximately 4 m/s

On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy
MrRa [10]
The kinetic energy is \frac 1 2 m v^2 and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25 joules
