A builder drops a brick from a height of 15 m above the ground. The gravitational field strength g is 10 N/ kg. What is the spee
Basile [38]

The speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Since the brick was initially at rest before it was dropped,

  • Initial Velocity; u = 0
  • Height from which it has dropped; h = 15m
  • Gravitational field strength; g = 10N/kg = 10 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg} = 10m/s^2

Final speed of brick as it hits the ground; v =  \ ?

<h3>Velocity</h3>

velocity is simply the same as the speed at which a particle or object moves. It is the rate of change of position of an object or particle with respect to time. As expressed in the Third Equation of Motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, h is its height or distance from ground and g is gravitational field strength.

To determine the speed of the brick as it hits the ground, we substitute our giving values into the expression above.

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0 + ( 2\ *\ 10m/s^2\ *\ 15m)\\\\v^2 = 300m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{300m^2/s^2}\\ \\v = 17.32m/s

Therefore, the speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kg book on top of the spring and release the book
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}  

x = 0.037 meters

or

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
