7.4J
final kinetic energy
= initial potential energy
= mass x gravitational force x height
= 0.145 x 9.81 x 5.2
= 7.39674 J

viva [34]

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence  :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias

A uniform plank of length 6.1 m and mass 33 kg rests horizontally on a scaffold, with 1.6 m of the plank hanging over one end of
salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

consider the principle of moment

when a system is in equilibrium, the clockwise moment (torque) about the pivot is equal to the counterclockwise moment ( torque). Since the plank is uniform the weight of the plank act at the middle which = 6.1 m / 2 = 3.05 m

the distance that can support the weight of the man = d

mass of the man = 70

70 × d = 33 × ( 3.05 - 1.6)

d = 47.85 / 60 = 0.798 m, if the man work beyond this point he will fall.

What is one of the reasons why scientists believe the outer core is liquid?
drek231 [11]
<span>Scientists have obtained most of this information from natural geological activity.
</span>S-waves and p-waves are seismic waves- the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake .Both P- and S-waves travel easily through solids, but S-waves cannot pass through liquids, and they cannot pass through the outer core. Scientists know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it.<span> When an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. 
</span>So, one of the reasons <span>why scientists believe the outer core is liquid is the s-wave shadow zone.</span>
