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!!!

Una manguera de agua de 1.3 cm de diametro es utilizada para llenar una cubeta de 24 Litros. Si la cubeta se llena en 48 s. A) ¿

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

We must translate this:

a 1.3 cm diameter water hose is used to fill a 24-liter bucket. If the bucket is filled in 48 s.

A) What is the speed with which the water leaves the hose?

B) if the diameter of the hose is reduced to 0.63 cm and assuming the same flow, what will be the speed of the water leaving the hose?

A) If the velocity of the water is Xcm/s

and the radius of the hose is equal to half its diameter, so it is 1.3cm/2

Then in one second we can considerate that a cylinder of:

V = pi*(1.3cm/2)^2*X cm^3 of water.

So we have that quantity in one second of flow.

where pi = 3.14

then in 48 seconds, the amount of water in the bucket is:

V = 48*pi*(1.3/2)^2*X = 24 L = 24,000 cm^3

Now we need to solve this for X.

48*3.14*(1.3/2)^2*X = 24000

63.679*x = 24000

x = 24000/63.679 = 376.89

So the velocity of the water is 376 cm per second.

B) if the diameter is 0.64cm, we have the equation:

48*3.14*(0.63/2)^2*x = 24000

14.955*X = 24000

X = 24000/14.955 = 1604.814 cm/s

A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig

solniwko [45]

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.

Inertia increases as an object's _________ increases.

sammy [17]

Answer:

A. Mass

Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.

The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.

An 80-cm uniform 10-kg bar is resting on two scales, one at either end. A smaller 4-kg mass (m) is placed at a distance of d = 2

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer

given,

length of bar = 80 cm

mass of the bar = 10 kg

smaller mass = 4 kg

distance = 20 cm

$s_1 + s_2 = 10 + 4$
