A 0.245 kg ball is thrown straight up from 2.07 m above the ground. Its initial vertical speed is 8.00 m/s. A short time later,

it hits the ground. Calculate the total work done by the force of gravity during that time.

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 4.975 \: Joules

Explanation:

The data given in the question is :

Mass is 0.245 kg

Height from ground is 2.07 m

As we know , the work done is state function , it depends on initial and final position not on the path followed.

So, work done by gravity = change in potential energy

Work done = Initial potential energy - final potential energy

Insert values from question

Work done = mass \times gravity \times (change \: in \: height)

Work done = 0.245 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2.07 m

So, work done = 4.975 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity is 4.975 \: Joules

Two conducting spheres of different sizes are at the same potential. The radius of the larger sphere is four times larger than t
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

The two spheres have the same potential, V.

Let the radius of the larger sphere be R and the radius of the smaller sphere be r,

=> R = 4r

Let the charge on the smaller sphere be q. Hence, the larger sphere will have charge Q - q.

The potential of the smaller sphere will be:

V_S = \frac{kq}{r}

The potential of the larger sphere will be:

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{R}

Inputting R = 4r,

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{4r}

Since V_S = V_L = V,

\frac{k(Q - q)}{4r} = \frac{kq}{r}

=> Q - q = 4q

=> 5q = Q

q = 0.2Q

The fraction of the charge Q that rests on the smaller sphere is 0.2

The charge of the larger sphere is:

Q - q = Q - 0.2Q = 0.8Q

∴ The fraction of the total charge Q that rests on the larger sphere is 0.8

A car rounds a flat curve and experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the curve and perpendicular to the d
Usimov [2.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a car is rounding a flat curve, it experiences a centripetal force that pulls it towards the center of the circle it is rotating in.

Now,

The centripetal force can be balanced by the centrifugal force caused due to the acceleration of the body at the high speed which counters the centripetal force and in turn <u>prevents the car from slipping down the curve.</u>

So,

If the car doesn't hit the gas then the <em><u>car will fall down from the curve</u></em> as the Centripetal force will exceed the Centrifugal force of the car.

However, if the car doesn't hit the brake then the <em><u>car will maintain it's position on the flat curve</u></em> track as the centrifugal force will counter the effect of centripetal force directed towards the center.

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed
Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.

16. For this table of data, how should the y-axis be labeled (with units)?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The y-axis should be labelled as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)

Explanation:

The given data is presented here as follows;

Mass (kg)            {}        Newtons (kg·m/s²)

3.2                      {}           31.381

4.6             {}                    45.1111

6.1              {}                    59.821

7.4              {}                    72.569

9                {}                     89.241

10.4              {}                   101.989

10.9              {}                  106.892

From the table, it can be seen that there is a nearly linear relationship between the  amount of Newtons and the  mass, as the slope of the data has a relatively constant slope

Therefore, the data can be said to be a function of Weight in Newtons to the mass in kilograms such that the weight depends on the mass as follows;

W(m) in Newtons = Mass, m in kg × g

Where;

g is the constant of proportionality

Therefore, the y-axis component which is the dependent variable is the function, W(m) = Weight of the body while the x-axis component which is the independent variable is the mass. m

The graph of the data is created with Microsoft Excel give the slope which is the constant of proportionality, g = 9.8379, which is the acceleration due to gravity g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

We therefore label the y-axis as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)
