The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kg. Suppose this watermelon were exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the gr

ound. After the exhibition, the watermelon is allowed to slide along to the ground along a smooth ramp. How high above the ground is the watermelon at the moment its kinetic energy is 4.61 kJ?

Answer: height = 3.98m

Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae

p = mgh

p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J

m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h

h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8

h = 4610/ 1156.4

h = 3.98m

A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football
Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum of the football

\Delta t=0.25 s is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial  velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we  find the force exerted on the ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N

Answer: 40.4M/s

Solution: 46.6/1.15 = 40.4347826 then round it to a single decimal point, since 3 is lower than 5 it will be rounded to 40.4

A nonconducting container filled with 25 kg of water at 23°C is fitted with a stirrer, which is made to turn by gravity acting o
Paul [167]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of water = 25 kg

Temperature = 23°C

Weight of mass = 32 kg

Distance = 5 m

(a). We need to calculate the amount of work done on the water

Using formula of work done

W=mgh

W=32\times9.8\times5

W=1568\ J

The amount of work done on the water is 1568 J.

(b). We need to calculate the internal-energy change of the water

Using formula of internal energy

The change in internal energy of the water equal to the amount of the  work done on the water.

\Delta U=W

\Delta U=1568\ J

The  change in internal energy is 1568 J.

(c). We need to calculate the final temperature of the water

Using formula of the change internal energy

\Delta U=mc_{p}\Delta T

\Delta U=mc_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})

T_{2}=T_{1}+\dfrac{\Delta U}{mc_{p}}

T_{2}=23+\dfrac{1568}{25\times4.18\times10^{3}}

T_{2}=23.01^{\circ}\ C

The final temperature of the water is 23.01°C.

(d). The amount of heat removed from the water to return it to it initial temperature is the change in internal energy.

The amount of heat is 1568 J.

Hence, This is the required solution.
