Answer:

Height, h = 16.67 m

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.765 kg.

He jumps off the tree and hits the ground with 125 joules of energy.

It is required to find the height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped.

The energy possessed by the squirrel is called its gravitational potential energy. It can be given by :

E=mgh

h is height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped

h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{125\ J}{0.765\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\h=16.67\ m

So, the squirrel will go to a height of 16.67 m.

A motorbike travels 45 miles in 15 minutes, what is its speed (hint change the minutes to hours!!)
Flauer [41]

Answer:

180 miles/hr

Explanation:

15 min=1/4 hr

s= distance/time

s=45miles/1/4 hr

s=45miles x 4/1=180 miles/hr

At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?
Svetlanka [38]

The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.

<h3>What is the time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?</h3>

The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration

a = g = -9.8 $$m / s^2

downward (acceleration due to gravity).

By using Suvat equation:

v = u + at

where: v is the velocity at time t

u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 $$m/s^2 is the acceleration

To find the time t at which the velocity is v = 20.7 m/s

Therefore,

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{20.7-40}{-9.8}=2.0204 \mathrm{~s}

The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.

The complete question is:

A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 20.7 m/s upward?

A piece of metal has attained a velocity of 107.8 m/sec after fallinf for 10 seconds what is its initial velocity
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

7.8 m/s

Explanation:

Here object is falling with a gravitational acceleration there  for we can take acceleration = 10 m/ s² and its constant through out the motion there for we can use motion equation

V = U + at

V - Final velocity

U - Initial velocity

a - acceleration

t - time

V=U+at

107.8=U + 10×10

  = 7.8 m/s
