A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters

above the ground. What is the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground?

I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s

An object weighing 49 N is pushed across a floor by a force of 12 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object  = 49N

Force applied = 12N

Unknown:

Acceleration of object  = ?

Solution:

The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;

 Acceleration  = \frac{12}{49}   = 0.25m/s²

Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of motion of Jacob

Explanation:

Given:

mass  of Jacob, m_j=45\ kg

velocity of Jacob, v_j=8.08\ m.s^{-1}

mass of Ethan, m_e=31\ kg

velocity of Ethan, v_e=10.9\ m.s^{-1}

Now using the conservation of linear momentum for the case:

(When the two masses in motion combine to form one after the collision then they will move together in the direction of the greater momentum.)

(m_j+m_e).v=m_j.v_j-m_e.v_e

(45+31)\times v=45\times 8.08-31\times 10.9

v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1} in the direction of motion of Jacob as it was assumed to be positive.

When a resistor is connected to a 12 volt source, it draws a 185 mA current. what's the resistance? (I said 65 ohms). the same r
lyudmila [28]

Resistance-1 = (voltage-1) / (current-1) =

                       (12 V)  /  (0.185 A)  =  64.9 ohms .

Resistance-2 = (voltage-2) / (current-2) =
 
                           (90 V )  /  (1.25 A)  =  72 ohms .

The resistance changed between situation-1 and situation-2 .
How did that happen ?

Power = (voltage) x (current)

Power-1 = (12)  x  (0.185)  =  2.22 watts

Power-2 = (90)  x  (1.25)  =  112.5 watts

The poor resistor dissipated 51 times as much power during
the second trial.  It got all heated up, and its resistance went
through the roof.

Carbon resistors behave nicely and reliably, until you try to
toast bread or light up your bedroom with them.
