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}

A car is traveling 35 mph on a smooth surface. If a balanced force is applied to the car, what happens?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Here is the answer.

Explanation:

Balanced forces- they are those forces that produce 0 resultant forces.

therefore, on applying a balanced force on the object, it wouldn't result in any change, as resultant force would be 0.

A student heats a liquid on a burner. What happens to the portion of liquid that first begins to warm? Check all that apply.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The answers are options B,D and E

Explanation:

B) The particles in the liquid are slowly overcoming the forces of attraction and spreading out due to the thermal energy they are absorbing. This makes the liquid less dense as it slowly changes into a gas after reaching its boiling point.

D) The particles start absorbing the energy form the surroundings as latent heat of evaporation. They need this energy to overcome the strong forces of attraction between particles to change into the gaseous state

E) The particles have spaced out due to the thermal energy absorbed, making the liquid lighter and it rises upwards.

he work function of a certain metal is 1.90 eV. What is the longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission fr
bixtya [17]

Answer:

6538.8 Angstrom

Explanation:

work function, w = 1.9 eV = 1.9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 3.04 x 10^-19 J

Let the longest wavelength is λ.

W = h c / λ

λ = h c / W

λ = (6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (3.04 x 10^-19)

λ = 6.5388 x 10^-7 m = 6538.8 Angstrom

Thus, the longest wavelength is 6538.8 Angstrom.

When a forklift raises an object, is it doing positive or negative work on the object? Which type of work is the force of gravit
Alja [10]

Answer: B

The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. 

Explanation: The work done in lifting an object up is positive when the direction of the displacement and the force applied are in the same direction.

The work will be negative if force and direction of the motion are opposite to each other.

Also, force of gravity is considered positive when an object is moving toward the gravity. That is coming downward. Otherwise, it's negative when it's moving in the opposite direction.

When a forklift raises an object, the forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion.
