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

Answer:

d = 4 d₀o

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

         W = ΔK

In that case as the car stops v_f = 0

the work is

          W = -fr d

we substitute

          - fr d₀ = 0 - ½ m v₀²

           d₀ = ½ m v₀² / fr

now they indicate that the vehicle is coming at twice the speed

          v = 2 v₀

using the same expressions we find

           d = ½ m (2v₀)² / fr

           d = 4 (½ m v₀² / fr)

           d = 4 d₀o

A sound source is moving at 80 m/s toward a stationary listener that is standing in still air (a) Find the wavelength of the sou
Setler [38]

Answer:

a. wavelength of the sound, \vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}

b. observed frequecy, \lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}

Given:

speed of sound source, v_{s} = 80 m/s

speed of sound in air or vacuum, v_{a} = 343 m/s

speed of sound observed, v_{o} = 0 m/s

Solution:

From the relation:

v = \vartheta \lambda        (1)

where

v = velocity of sound

\vartheta = observed frequency of sound

\lambda = wavelength

(a) The wavelength of the sound between source and the listener is given by:

\lambda = \frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta }         (2)

(b) The observed frequency is given by:

\vartheta = \frac{v_{a}}{v_{a} - v_{s}}\vartheta_{o}

\vartheta = \frac{334}{334 - 80}\vartheta_{o}

\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}                (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

\lambda = \frac{334}{1.315} = \frac{1}{1.315}\frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta_{o}}

\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}
