Answer:

45 J

Explanation:

Assuming the level at which the ball is thrown upwards is the ground level,

We can use the equations of motion to obtain the maximum height covered by the ball and then calculate the potential energy

u = initial velocity of the ball = 3 m/s

h = y = vertical distance covered by the ball = ?

v = final velocity of the ball at the maximum height = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

v² = u² + 2ay

0 = 3² + 2(-9.8)(y)

19.6y = 9

y = (9/19.6)

y = 0.459 m

The potential energy the ball will have at the top of its motion = mgh

mgh = (10)(9.8)(0.459) = 45 J

Hope this Helps!!!

The speed of sound is measured to be 340 m/s on a certain day.

Answer: 1,224 km/h

Explanation:

To do this, we pick the first unit and convert
Picking m first and converting to km:
Since we're converting from a non-prefix to a prefix, we divide the value by the prefix were taking it to. In this case, kilo = 10³ which means we're going to divide our value by 1000 to convert it from m to km
340 m/s ÷ 1000 = 0.34 km/s
Now, let's convert our seconds to hour:
We'll need to calculate how many hours is equivalent to one second first;
1 hr = 60×60 seconds
X hr = 1 second
*Cross multiply*
1 × 1 = X × 60 × 60
1 = 3,600 X
X = 1 / 3,600
X = 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
So, in the place of "1 Second", we're going to be inserting 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour instead
0.34 km / s = 0.34 km / 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
(0.34 / 2.778×10⁻⁴) km/hour
1,224 km/h.
340 m/s = 1,224 km/h

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. A 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end, whe
Elden [556K]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)

r - 10 = 0.098

r = 10.098 m

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab

denpristay [2]

Answer:

c. 1600J

Explanation:

The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:

U=mg \Delta h

where

m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 4 m + 0.02 m = 4.02 m is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)

Substituting, we find

\Delta U = (40 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.02 m) = 1577 J \sim 1600 J

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?
Dahasolnce [82]
They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures.  They are made all the way through iron.  At that point the star dies.  If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death.  No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle
