Answer:

<em>the change in potential energy when it reaches the highest height = 634.8 J</em>

Explanation:

<em>Potential Energy</em>: This is the energy a body posses due to position.

From the law of conservation of energy,

At the highest point and lowest points, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

I.e

Ek = Ek

Where Ek = potential energy, Ep = potential energy

Ep₁ = 1/2mu²  (potential energy at the lowest point)................ Equation 1

Ep₂ = 1/2mv² (potential energy at the highest point)............. Equation 2

ΔEp = Ep₂ - Ep₁ = 1/2mu² - 1/2mv²........................ Equation 3

Where ΔEp = change in potential energy, m = mass of the ball of clay, v = final velocity of the ball of clay, u = initial velocity of the ball of clay

Given: <em>m= 60 kg, u = 4.6 m/s v = 0 ( velocity at the maximum height)</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 3</em>

ΔEp = 1/2×60×4.6 - 1/2×60×0²

ΔEp = 30×21.16 - 0

<em>ΔEp = 634.8 J.</em>

<em>Therefore the change in potential energy when it reaches the highest height = 634.8 J</em>

A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.75 104 m/s, and the radius of the or
Arisa [49]

Answer:

v = 1.32 10² m

Explanation:

In this case we are going to use the universal gravitation equation and Newton's second law

    F = G m M / r²

    F = m a

In this case the acceleration is centripetal

    a = v² / r

The force is given by the gravitational force

    G m M / r² = m v² / r

    G  M/r =  v²

Let's calculate the mass of the planet

    M = v² r / G

    M = (1.75 10⁴)² 5.00 10⁶ / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

    M = 2.30 10²¹ kg

With this die we clear the equation to find the orbit of the second satellite

    v = √ G M / r

    v = √ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 2.30 10²¹ / 8.75 10⁶)

    v = 1.32 10² m

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

L=6.21m

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0,

where \theta is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L},

where \omega is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T},

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m

Evaluating alternative options and choosing one option among them is called the theory of bounded rationality.
VikaD [51]

It is false, bounded rationality is the idea that rationality is limited when individuals make decisions. ... Limitations include the difficulty of the problem requiring a decision, the cognitive capability of the mind, and the time available to make the decision.

But one thing, NEXT TIME TELL US THE QUESTION FIRST AND DON'T JUST LEAVE BLINDLY ASKING SOMETHING.

a rocket engine can accelerate a rocket launched from rest vertically up with an acceleration of 22.9 m/s2. however, after 50.0
xxTIMURxx [149]

The acceleration of a rocket engine is given here, and after 50 seconds of flight, the engine fails, and we must determine the altitude of the rocket at the time the engine fails.  Because the rocket starts from rest, the time taken is 50 seconds, the initial velocity is zero, and the acceleration is 22.9 meters per second square. So we use the kinamatics equation s equal to v. I t plus half 8 square. There is no acceleration at the start. 22.9 and t is 50 seconds, so displacement 2.86 times 10 to the power 4 is met. This is the rocket's displacement in 50 seconds, so this is the rocket's altitude when the engine fails.

<h3>What exactly is accelerate?</h3>
  • In mechanics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. Vector quantities are accelerations. The orientation of an object's acceleration is determined by the orientation of its net force.
  • In his second law of motion, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) defined acceleration as the ratio of a force acting on an object to its mass: a = f/m.
  • Accelerate is a verb that means to speed up. When you press the gas pedal, the car accelerates. If you know someone who works at the consulate, you can speed up the process.
  • Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, both in terms of speed and direction. A point or object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it accelerates or decelerates.
  • Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle is accelerated because the direction is constantly changing. Both effects contribute to acceleration in all other types of motion.

Hence, There is no acceleration at the start. 22. This is the rocket's displacement in 50 seconds, so this is the rocket's altitude when the engine fails.
