Answer:

option d) -9 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass, m = 3.0 kg

time, t = 6.0 seconds

Velocity of mass, v = 2.0 m/s

height, h = 2 m

Now, using the concept of work-Energy theorem

we have

Net work done = change in kinetic energy

or

Work done by gravity + work done by the friction = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

mgh +W_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-0

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

3 × 9.8 × 2 + W_f = \frac{1}{2}\times 3\times2^2

or

58.8 + W_f = 6

or

W_f = -52.8 J

here negative sign depicts that the work is done against the motion of the mass

also,

Power = (Work done)/time

or

Power = -52.8/6 = -8.8 W ≈ 9 J

Hence, option d) -9 J is correct

Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornadoes have stronger winds
chubhunter [2.5K]

-- A tornado follows a path that's a few miles wide, for a few hours.
   Then it's all over.

-- A hurricane follows a path that's several hundred miles wide,
   for a week or two, before it's over.
   Then comes the rain, continuing on the same path, for another week.

A 30 kg mass and a 20 kg mass are joined by a light rigid rod and this system is free to rotate in the plane of the page about a
stepan [7]

55 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as: 0.5MV^2 where M is the mass and V is the speed of rotation. Since the masses are point masses, we calculate the point mass for each mass.

M1 = 30*0.2^2 = 1.2kgm^2

M2 = 20*0.4^2 = 3.2kgm^2

V = 5 rad/s

Calculating using the formula above, we obtain :

0.5(1.2+3.2)5^2 =0.5*4.4*25 = 55 J

Phyics !!! Cannon ball question
natima [27]

Answer:

Zero; no force is required to keep it going

Explanation:

Since the cannon ball is fired into frictionless space, there will be nothing to stop it, so it will keep going and going.
