The problem involves the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy as the object falls from rest. Energy is conserved, so the equation used is:

PEi + KEi = PEf + KEf

Since the object is falling from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. Also, since the object hits the ground at its final position, the final potential energy is zero. This leaves:

PEi = KEf
mgh = 1/2 mv^2

*cancel out mass on both sides of the equation

gh = 0.5v^2
v = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2*9.81*4.5) = 9.40 m/s --> final ans.

The force between two charged bodies is called ______________.
stepladder [879]

The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive. ... Like the gravitational force, the Coulomb force is an inverse square law.

How can citizen -scientists help with the prediction of future earthquakes
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Avoid downed power lines and stay away from buildings and bridges from which heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. Stay away until local officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over.

A concave mirror with a focal length of 32 cm produces an image whose distance from the mirror is one-third the object distance.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

part A ⇒ u = 1.28 m

part B ⇒v = 0.43 m

Explanation:

for u is the distance to the object from the mirror and v is the distance from the mirror to the image.

Part A:

the mirror equation is given by:

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

but we told that, v = 1/3u:

1/f = 3/v + 1/u = 4/u

1/f = 4/u

  f = u/4

 u = 4f

    = 4×(32×10^-2)

    = 1.28 m

Therefore the distance from the mirror to the object is 1.28 m.  

part B:

v = 1/3×u = 1/3×(1.28) = 0.43 m
