The  final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at the bottom

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 2 m is the initial height

h_f=1.50 m is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

K_i = 0

Therefore we can solve the equation for K_f, the final kinetic energy of the ball:

K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J

A person running has a momentum of 720 kg m/s and is traveling at a velocity of 5 m/s. What is his mass?
allsm [11]

Explanation:

Momentum is mass times velocity.

p = mv

720 kg m/s = m (5 m/s)

m = 144 kg

"On a movie set, an alien spacecraft is to be lifted to a height of 32.0 m for use in a scene. The 260.0-kg spacecraft is attach
Lisa [10]

Answer:

<em>The time interval required to lift the spacecraft to this specified height is 123.94 seconds</em>

Explanation:

Height through which the spacecraft is to be lifted = 32.0 m

Mass of the spacecraft = 260.0 kg

Four crew member each pull with a power of 135 W

18.0% of the mechanical energy is lost to friction.

work done in this situation is proportional to the mechanical energy used to move the spacecraft up

work done = (weight of spacecraft) x (the height through which it is lifted)

but the weight of spacecraft = mg

where m is the mass,

and g is acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s

weight of spacecraft = 260 x 9.81 = 2550.6 N

work done on the space craft = weight x height

==> work = 2550.6 x 32 = 81619.2 J

this is equal to the mechanical energy delivered to the system

18.0% of this mechanical energy delivered to the pulley is lost to friction.

this means that

0.18 x 81619.2  = <em>14691.456 J  </em> is lost to friction.

Total useful mechanical energy =  81619.2 J - 14691.456 J = 66927.74<em> J</em>

Total power delivered by the crew to do this work = 135 x 4 = 540 W

But we know tat power is the rate at which work is done i.e

P = \frac{w}{t}

where p is the power

where w is the useful work done

t is the time taken to do this work

imputing values, we'll have

540 = 66927.74/t

t = 66927.74/540

time taken t = <em>123.94 seconds</em>

Choose only one correct option. Explanation needed.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\mathrm{C. \  \  \frac{500}{7 \times 15  \times 8} \ g/cm^3 }}

Explanation:

\displaystyle \sf Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

\displaystyle \rho = \frac{m}{V}

\sf mass=500 \ g

\sf volume \ of \ a \ cuboid=width  \times length  \times height=( 7 \times 15 \times 8) \ cm^3

\displaystyle \rho = \frac{500}{7 \times 15  \times 8}
