Answer:
8) 709.8875 J
9) The object is at 7.24375 m from the ground
10) Kinetic energy increases as the object falls.
Explanation:
We use the expression for the displacement h(t) as a function of time of an object experiencing free fall:
h(t) = hi - (g/2) t^2
hi being the initial position of the object (10m) above ground, g the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t the time (in our case 0.75 seconds):
h(0.75) = 10 - 4/9 (0.75)^2 = 7.24375 m
This is the position of the 10 kg object after 0.75 seconds (answer for part 9)
Knowing this position we can calculate the potential energy of the object when it is at this height, using the formula:
U = m g h = 10kg * 9.8 (m/s^2) * 7.24375 m = 709.8875 J (answer for part 8)
Part 10)
the kinetic energy of the object increases as it gets closer to ground, since its velocity is increasing in magnitude because is being accelerated in its motion downwards.
Answer & Explanation:
Relative age is the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. It can be determined by looking at the position of rock layers. Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks or fossils.
Answer:
1190 N
Explanation:
Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. The unit of force is Newton(N).
From the question,
F = ma................. Equation 1
Where F = average force, m = mass, a = acceleration.
But,
a = (v-u)/t................ Equation 2
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
F = m(v-u)/t.............. Equation 3
Given: m = 70 kg, v = 1.7 m/s, u = 0 m/s (from rest), t = 0.1 s.
Substitute into equation 3
F = 70(1.7-0)/0.1
F = 1190 N.
