Answer:

5.5 kg

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the rock in the problem, we know:

h = 12 m is the height above the ground

U = 650 J

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, we can solve the equation for m, the mass of the rock:

$m=\frac{U}{gh}=\frac{650}{(9.8)(12)}=5.5 kg$

If a child starts from rest at point A and lands in the water at point B, a horizontal distance L = 2.52 m from the base of the

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The height of the water slide is 0.878 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 2.52 m

Suppose Children slide down a friction less water slide that ends at a height of 1.80 m above the pool.

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$1.80=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2$

$t^2=\dfrac{1.80\times2}{9.8}$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.80\times2}{9.8}}$

$t=0.606\ sec$

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

$v = \dfrac{d}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{2.52}{0.606}$

$v=4.15\ m/s$

We need to calculate height

Using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Put the value into the formula

$h=\dfrac{4.15^2}{2\times9.8}$

$h=0.878\ m$

Hence, The height of the water slide is 0.878 m.

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a _____ scale or _____ scale.

allsm [11]

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.

An 11.0 -W energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb is designed to produce the same illumination as a conventional 40.0-W incandes

yarga [219]

The amount or cost that the user of the energy-efficient bulb save during 100h of use will be $0.319.

<h3>How to calculate the cost?</h3>

For the 11.0W bulb, it should be noted that the value will be:

= 11.0 × 100 × (1/1000) × 0.110

= $0.121

The 40W bulb will be:

= 40 × 100 × (1/1000) × 0.110

= $0.44

Therefore, the amount that will be saved will be:

= $0.44 - $0.121

= $0.319
