Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s
Final velocity, v = 0 (stops)
Time, t = 30 s
We need to find the acceleration of the lion.
We know that,
Acceleration = rate of change of velocity
So, the acceleration of the lion is 
.
Answer:
Explanation:
Solar energy production encompasses several power sources, both passive and active. It’s important to differentiate among the different types of solar energy production systems since it’s not uncommon for the average homeowner to confuse them. We’ll start with a diagram of solar energy hitting the earth surface.
Then we’ll present diagrams and discuss photovoltaic solar, solar hot water, and concentrated solar power. The easiest way to think about these is: am I using solar energy to heat water (solar hot water and CSP) or am I converting sunlight directly into electricity (photovoltaic cells)?
Answers:
a) 9.035 s
b) -88.543 m/s
Explanation:
The described situation is related to vertical motion (especifically free fall) and the equations that will be useful are:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the final height of the steel ball
is the initial height of the steel ball
is the initial velocity of the steel ball (it was dropped)
is the final velocity of the steel ball
is the time it takes to the steel ball to reach the ground
is the acceleration due to gravity
<u>Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:</u>
<h2>a) Time it takes the steel ball to reach the ground</h2>
We will use equation (1) with the conditions listed above:
(3)
Isolating :
(4)
(5)
(6)
<h2>b) Final velocity of the steel ball</h2>
We will use equation (2) with the conditions explained above and the calculaated time:
(7)
(8)
(9) The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is downwards
