Answer:

Explanation:

Here potential energy lost = mgh

h = L ( 1 - cos 46 ) where L is length of rope

= 2.6 x ( 1 - cos 46 )

PE lost = 20 x 9.8 x 2.6 ( 1 - cos 46 )

= 155.6 J

gain of kinetic energy = loss of PE

1/2 m v² = 155.6

.5 x 20 x v² = 155.6

v² = 15.56

v = 3.94 m /s

LenKa [72]

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2ad$

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s$

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

$v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph$

How does Newtons second law of motion relate to Track and field (running sport)?

ANEK [815]

Newton's second law also helps to explain what happens every time an athlete lands during running. When the foot hits the track, it will decelerate to a stop before leaving the track again. The faster the deceleration, the greater the force of impact on the foot.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.
