Answer:

30.25 m/s

46.68 m

Explanation:

Work Energy theorem states that

W = ½mv2² - ½mv1²

W = ½m(v2² - v1²)

Net work done by the force = -mgd

Net work done = -m * 9.8 * 14.8

Net work done = -145m

Using the work energy theorem

-145m = ½m(v2² - v1²)

-145m = ½ * m(25² - v1²)

-290m = 625m - v1²m

v1² = 625 + 290

v1² = 915

v1 = √915 = 30.25 m/s

B

-mgd = ½m(v2² - v1²), where v2 = 0, so

-mgd = ½mv1²

Making d the subject of the formula, we have

d = -½mv1²/mg

d = v1²/2g

d = 915/ 2 * 9.8

d = 915 / 19.6

d = 46.68 m

How does gravity affect the motions of Earth and the Moon?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The Sun's gravitational pull keeps our planet orbiting the Sun. The motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun and Earth. Moon's gravity pulls on the Earth and makes the tides rise and fall.

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters

12).  A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! );     B).  17.5 meters

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa
kotykmax [81]
Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is v_i=180~m/s, the final velocity is v_i=0~m/s, and the total time of the motion is \Delta t=0.02~s, so the acceleration is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2 
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

Light is emitted by electrons when they drop from one energy level to a lower level. Which transition results in the emission of
natulia [17]

Answer:

Level 4 to level 2

Explanation:

Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels (1, 2, 3, and so on) having different distances from the nucleus. When light is emitted by electrons from one energy level to a lower level, level 4 to level 2 has the greatest energy.

Hence, the correct option is "Level 4 to level 2".
