Answer:

(a) 0 kJ

(b) 9.81 kJ

(c) 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one state to another. At a height of 50 m, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy hence KE=0

(b)

Potential energy, PE=mgh where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height

Substituting 50 m for h and 20 Kg for m, taking g as 9.81 then

PE=20*9.81*50=9810 J=9.81 kJ

(c)

Relating the equation of potential energy to the equation of kinetic energy, which is 0.5mv^{2}

mgh=0.5mv^{2} where v is the velocity of the mass

v=\sqrt {2gh}

Substituting 50 m for h and taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt {2*9.81*50}=31.32091953\approx 31.32 m/s

What is the angular velocity (in rad/s) of a body rotating at N r.p.m.?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

0.1047N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember the conversion factors, remembering that 1 revolution equals 2π radians and 1min equals 60s

N\frac{rev}{min} \frac{2\pi }{1rev} \frac{1min}{60} =N\frac{2\pi }{60} =0.1047N

in conclusion, to know how many rad / s an element rotates which is expressed in Rev / min we must only multiply by 0.1047

In order to protect yourself if you have a dispute with another drivers insurance company you should:
klio [65]

Answer:

  C. Get the names and addresses of witness to the crash

Explanation:

The best approach is to let your insurance company handle the dispute. Since that is not an option here, the best thing you can do is make sure you know who the witnesses are, so your insurance company can call upon them as needed.
