Answer:

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 450 J

Find:

Mass of shot (m) = ?

Computation:

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 1/2mv²

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = [1/2](m)(15)²

450 = [1/2](m)(15)²

900 = 225 m

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

A pebble is thrown into the air with a velocity of 19/m at an angle of 36 with respect to the horizontal.
kow [346]

Answer:

The maximum height the pebble reaches is approximately;

A. 6.4 m

Explanation:

The question is with regards to projectile motion of an object

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the pebble, u = 19 m/s

The angle the projectile path of the pebble makes with the horizontal, θ = 36°

The maximum height of a projectile, h_{max}, is given by the following equation;

h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (u \times sin(\theta) \right)^2}{2 \cdot g}

Therefore, substituting the known values for the pebble, we have;

h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (19 \times sin(36 ^{\circ}) \right)^2}{2 \times 9.8} = 6.3633894140470403035477570509439

Therefore, the maximum height of the pebble projectile, h_{max} ≈ 6.4 m.

Typically, water runs through the baseboard copper tubing and, therefore, fresh hot water is constantly running through the pipi
Bas_tet [7]

Answer: The temperature of the water falls by 3.3°C

Explanation:

The heat change is related to the change in temperature by the equation

dH = m Cp dT

In this example, -2665 J = 193 g x 4.184 J/g°C x dT

so dT = -3.3 °C

Could a person at the south pole see the north star, explain?? ​
9966 [12]

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator.  Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.

A cart with mass m vibrating at the end of a spring has an extra block added to it when its displacement is x=+A. What should th
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The block's mass should be 3m

Explanation:

Given:

Cart with mass m

From the conservation of energy before mass is added,

  \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2} kA^{2}

Where A = amplitude of spring mass system, k = spring constant

  A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Now new mass M is added to the system,

   \frac{1}{2} (m +M ) v^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}  k A^{2}

  A = v \sqrt{\frac{m +M }{k} }

Here, given in question frequency is reduced to half so we can write,

   f' = \frac{f}{2}

Where f = frequency of system before mass is added, f' = frequency of system after mass is added.

        \omega ' = \frac{\omega}{2}

\sqrt{\frac{k}{m +M} }  = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }{2}

   \frac{k}{m +M } = \frac{k}{4m}

   M = 3m

Therefore, the block's mass should be 3m
