The tomato is dropped. What is the velocity, v, of the tomato when it hits the ground? Assume 85.6 % of the work done in Part A

is transferred to kinetic energy, E, by the time the tomato hits the ground.

Answer:

Ok, we know that you drop a tomato of mass M from a height h, because you drop it, it has not initial velocity.

Now, the kinetic energy is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

because at the begginig there is not velocity, the kinetic energy is zero.

the potential energy is:

U = M*g*h

where g = 9.8m/s^2

We know that when the tomato hits the ground, the 85.6% of these potential energy is converted in kinetic; so we have:

K = 0.856*M*g*h = (1/2)*M*v^2

M can be canceled in both sides:

v^2 = 2*0.856*g*h

v = √(1.712*g*h)

is the velocity of the tomato when it hits the ground.

Answer:

v = 4.1 \sqrt{h}

Explanation:

Let the mass of tomato is m and the height from which it falls is h.

Let the tomato its the ground with velocity v.

The potential energy of the tomato at height h

U = m x g x h

The kinetic energy of tomato as it hits the ground

K = 1/2 mv^2

According to the question,

85.6 % of Potential energy = Kinetic energy

\frac{85.6}{100}\times m\times g\times h = \frac{1}{2}\times m\times v^{2}

v = 4.1 \sqrt{h}

The 88-lb force P is applied to the 210-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

F=-88Ib

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force P=88Ib

Mass of crate M_c=210Ib

Generally the equation for Frictional force F is mathematically given by

Friction\ force (f) = friction\ coefficient\ (u) * Normal\ reaction (N)

F=u*N

with \mu =0.47

F=98.7Ib

Therefore since Static Friction supersedes applied force body remains at rest.

Frictional force =88Ib (negative)

F=-88Ib

If an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, what would be his mass on the moon and on the space station
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The astronaut's mass is 16 kg.

Explanation:

Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.

Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).

Therefore, if an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, his mass on the moon and on the space station would remain the same, as his original mass of 16 Kg because mass is indestructible.

What is the amount of thermal energy that can be stored in an object depends on?
77julia77 [94]
Thermal energy is the total energy of all the molecules in an object. The thermal energy of an object depends on three things: 4 the number of molecules in the object 4 the temperature of the object (average molecular motion) 4 the arrangement of the object's molecules (states of matter).

Hope this helps
