A) How fast was the brick moving after 4s?
Vf=?
Vi=0 (because it was dropped, not thrown)
A= -9.8m/s^2 (gravity)
t= 4s
Use the equation Vf=Vi+A(t)
Vf=0+(-9.8)(4)
Final answer: Vf= -39.2m/s
b) How far did the brick fall after 4s?
D=?
Vi=0
t=4s
A=-9.8m/s2
**You do have the final velocity, but it is best to avoid using numbers that you have calculated yourself.**
Use the equation: d=Vi(t)+0.5(A)(t)^2
d=(0)(4)+0.5(-9.8)(4)^2
d=(-4.9)(16)
d=-78.4m
Therefore, after 4s the brick fell 78.4m

a crane does 9,500 J of work to lift a crate straight up using a force of 125 N. how high does the crane lift the crate?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<em>The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Work Done by a Force</u>

The work done by a force of magnitude F that displaces an object by a distance y is given by

$W=F.y$

We know a crane does a work of 9,500 Joule to lift a crate and is using a force of 125 Nw.

The above equation can be solved to know the value of y in terms of the work and the force:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{W}{F}$

Plugging in the given values

$\displaystyle y=\frac{9,500}{125}$

$y=76\ m$

The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high

1 A 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supp

Tanzania [10]

Answer with explanation:

We are given that

Mass of ball, $m_1=$ 75 g= $\frac{75}{1000}=0075kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Height, $h_1=1.6 m$

$h_2=0.6 m$

Horizontal velocity, $v_x=2 m/s$

Mass of plate $m_2=400 g=\frac{400}{1000}=0.4 kg$

a.Initial velocity of plate, $u_2=0$

Velocity before impact= $u_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.6}=5.6m/s$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Velocity after impact, $v_1=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.6}=3.4m/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_1=-m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Substitute the values

$0.075\times 5.6+0=-0.075\times 3.4+0.4v_2$

$0.4v_2=0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4$

$v_2=\frac{0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4}{0.4}=1.69 m/s$

Velocity of plate=1.69 m/s

b.Initial energy= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 1.6=1.326 J$

Final energy= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2$

Final energy= $\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 0.6+\frac{1}{2}(0.4)(1.69)^2=1.162 J$

Energy lost due to compact=Initial energy-final energy=1.326-1.162=0.164 J

How is voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?

34kurt

Voltmeter is used to find the potential difference between two points.

We always connect it in parallel to the points where we need the potential difference.

Here in order to make the reading accurate we can increase the resistance of voltmeter so that it can not withdraw any current from the circuit.
