39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J

Two sticky spheres are suspended from light ropes of length LL that are attached to the ceiling at a common point. Sphere AA has
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  h’ = 1/9 h

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts:

* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lower, just before the crash

         Em_f = K = ½ m v_{b}^2

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         m g h = ½ m v²

         v_b = \sqrt{2gh}

* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before the crash

         p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b

final instant. Right after the crash

         p_f = (2m + m) v

       

the moment is preserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v_b = 3m v

         v = v_b / 3

         

          v = ⅓ \sqrt{2gh}

* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together

Starting point. Lower

          Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²

Final point. Higher

          Em_f = U = (3m) g h'

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ 3m v² = 3m g h’

           

we substitute

         h’=  \frac{v^2}{2g}

         h’ =  \frac{1}{3^2} \  \frac{ 2gh}{2g}

         h’ = 1/9 h

A bullet of mass m=26g is fired into a wooden block of mass M=4.7kg. The block is attached to a string of length 1.5m. The bulle
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

u = 449 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the bullet, m = 26 g

Mass of the wooden block,M = 4.7 Kg

height of the block,h = 0.31 m

initial speed of the block, u = ?

Using conservation of energy

(M+ m)gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2

gh = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.31}

v = 2.47 m/s

Now, using conservation of momentum to calculate the speed of the bullet.

m u + M u' = (M+m)v

m u  = (M+m)v

0.026 x u  = (4.7+0.026) x 2.47

u = 449 m/s

Hence, the speed of the bullet is equal to 449 m/s.

Find the mass of an object on planet F if its weight is 650 N (g = 13m/s^2)
Andrew [12]

Answer:

the object's mass is 50 kg

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law to solve for the mass:

F = m * a , then   m = F / a

In our case, the acceleration is the gravitational acceleration on the planet, and the force is the weight of the object on the planet. So we get:

m = w / a = 650 N / 13 m/s^2 = 50 kg

Then, the object's mass is 50 kg.

Two astronauts in space with a baseball decide to play catch to pass the time. In the language of conservation of momentum, desc
Anna35 [415]
As the first astronaut throws the ball, lets assume it goes with v velocity and the mass of the ball be m
the momentum comes out be mv, thus to conserve that momentum the astronaut will move opposite to the direction of the ball's motion with the velocity mv/M (where M is the mass of the astronaut).

notka56 [123]

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h =  1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m
