Answer:

Correct answer:  F = 50 N  weight of backpack

Explanation:

Given:

W = 200 J    work against gravity

h = 4 m  

F = m g = ?

g = 10 m/s²

The work done is a measure of change in this case of potential energy

W = Δ Ep = m g h = F · h ⇒ F = W / h =

F = W / h = 200 / 4 = 50 N

F = 50 N

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o
dsp73

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching  the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)

\Rightarrow F=\frac{d}{dt} (m.v)

since mass is constant

F=m\frac{d}{dt}v

when dt=10t

then,

F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}

F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}

F'=\frac{F}{10} the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

\frac{d}{dt} = represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

p= momentum

m= mass of the person jumping

v= velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

A pendulum is raised to a height of 0.3m above its lowest point and released. What is the velocity of the pendulum at its lowest
enyata [817]

Answer:

v = 2,425 m / s

Explanation:

A simple pendulum has anergy stored at the highest point of the path and this energy is conserved throughout the movement.

highest point

           Em₀ = U = m g y

lowest point

          Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

         Em₀ = Em_{f}

        mg y = ½ m v²

        v = √ 2gy

let's calculate

        v = √ (2 9.8 0.3)

        v = 2,425 m / s

What the density of an object that has a volume of 20ml and mass of 3g.​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density

m = mass

and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us  

V(D) = m  

now we divide D on both sides giving us

V = m/D  

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3

so

V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL

 

If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert

During an early phase of the planet's existence, earth's atmosphere was similar in composition to the atmospheres of mars and ve
KengaRu [80]

The answer is carbon dioxide. This primordial earths’ atmosphere was composed by gasses from degassing of the earth's interior after its formation. It is after the beginning of life that oxygen levels began to rise and levels of carbon dioxide began to reduce in the atmosphere (as a result of photosynthesis).

Samuel hits a ball, which is initially at rest, off of a tee. What is the velocity of the ball after it is hit, if Samuel applie
aniked [119]

Answer:

7.39 m/s

Explanation:

Applying

K.E = 1/2mv²..................... Equation 1

Where K.E = Kinetic Energy, m = mass of the ball, v = velocity of the ball.

Make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2K.E/m)................. Euqation 2

From the question,

Given: K.E = 30 J, m = 1.1kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = √(2×30/1.1)

v = √54.54

v = 7.39 m/s
