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.

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution
givi [52]
With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π 

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
   = (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
   = 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5  revolutions per second.

A 1.70 m tall woman stands 5.00 m in front of a camera with a 50.00 cm focal
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

18.89cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 5m in front of the camera

d_0=5m=500cm

The focal length of the lens =50cm

f=50 cm

By Lens formula we have:

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}\\\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i} =\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i}=0.018\\d_i=55.56cm

By the formula of magnification

\dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{55.56}{500}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{55.56}{500} \times h_o\\\\ h_o=1.70m=170cm\\\\Therefore: h_i=\dfrac{55.56}{500} \times$ 170 cm\\\\h_i =18.89 cm

The height of the image formed is 18.89cm.
