The skydiver jumping from a plane high up in the sky would most likely experience various energy transformation. For starters, it would undergo a very large gravitational potential energy because of its much higher elevation. After jumping, this energy would eventually transform to kinetic energy due to the force exerted by the gravity.

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2000 kg car possessing 3000 kgm/s of momentum

Alex

For this case we have that by definition, the momentum is given by:

$p = mv$

Where,

<em>m: mass </em>
<em>v: speed </em>

Therefore, replacing values we have:

$3000 = (2000) v$

From here, we clear the value of the speed:

$v = \frac {3000} {2000}\\v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

Answer:

The magnitude of velocity is:

$v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

= ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

= 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

= ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

= 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

= 239.73 rad

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed int

Stells [14]

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N

The Coulomb force between two charges q1 and q2 at separation r in air is F. If half of the separation is filled with medium of

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

Explanation

The coulomb force between the two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance r in air is given by F = q₁q₂/4πε₀r².

Now, let us assume the material of dielectric constant κ = 9 is placed between them on the side of the q₁ charge. The value of its effective charge is now q₃ = q₁/κ at a distance of d = r/2 from the q₂ charge.

Since we have air between q₂ and q₃, the coulomb force between them is

F' = q₂q₃/4πε₀d²

= q₂(q₁/κ)/4πε₀(r/2)²

= 4q₂q₁/κ4πε₀r²

= 4/κ(q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)

= 4/9 × (q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)

= q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

So, the new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²
