Answer:

a) 24 J

b) Gravitational Force

c) 45 J

d) 0

e) 6.782m/s

Explanation:

a) m = 3kg

v = 4m/s

h = 1.5m

KE = ?

0.5 * 3 * 16 = 24J

b) Gravitational force

c) F = ma = 3 * 10 = 30N

Work done = Force * distance = 30 * 1.5 = 45J

d) Final Kinetic Energy of the ball is zero because the ball eventually stops moving

e) velocity of ball as it strikes the ground = v

$v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as$ where

v is the velocity as it strikes the ground

u is the initial velocity

a is acceleration

s is the distance

Now since the ball is thrown downwards, a is positive because the velocity of the ball is increasing as the gravitational force acts on it

u = 4m/s

a = 10

s = 1.5

=> $v = \sqrt{2as + u^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{(2*10*1.5) + 16}$

= $\sqrt{46} = 6.782m/s$

Which of the following woud be expected to have the greatest impact on primary productivity?

leonid [27]

Answer: C solar energy

Solar energy has the greatest impact on primary productivity.

Explanation:

Primary productivity is the amount of organic compounds synthesized from carbon dioxide. Primary production occurs by the process of photosynthesis. Since the process of photosynthesis uses sunlight as the energy source solar energy has the greatest impact on primary productivity.

The synthesis can occur in atmosphere as well as aquatic environment. The organisms that perform the function of primary production are called producers .In terrestrial regions plants are the producers and in aquatic systems algae are the primary producers.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The famous Einstein's equation is:

$E=mc^2$

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

In this equation, Einstein summarized the following fact: mass can be converted into energy, and the amount of energy released in such a process is given by the equation.

An example of application of this equation is the nuclear fusion process. In a nuclear fusion, two lighter nuclei combine into a heavier nucleus. However, the mass of the heavier nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the masses of the two original nuclei: some of the mass of the original nuclei has been converted into energy, accorging to the previous equation.
