The gravitational potential energy:
E p = m x g x h
where m is the mass and h is the height;
m = 50 kg,  g = 9.81 m/s² ,  h = 40 m
E p = 50 kg  x 9.81 m/s²  x  40 m
Answer:
E p = 19,620 J = 19.62 kJ

A )
t 1 = 2 h,  t 2 = 6 h
Δ t = t 2 - t 1 = 6 - 2 = 4 h
54 = 50 + a Δ t
54 = 50 + 4 a
4 a = 54 - 4
4 a = 4
a = 4 : 4
a = 1 km/h²
v o = 48 km/h
An equation that can be used to describe the velocity of the car at the different times is:
v = 48 + t

A bus traveling at 24 m/s slows down to 12 m/s in 5.0 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Contact [7]

Answer:

a = -2.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of the bus, u = 24 m/s

The final speed of bus, v = 12 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed is, t = 5.0 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

                                      a = (v - u) / t

                                         = (12 - 24) / 5

                                         = -2.4 m/s²

The negative sign in the acceleration indicates that the bus is decelerating.

Therefore, the acceleration of the bus is, a = -2.4 m/s²

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration a_c, so:

a_c = w^2r

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

a_c = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2\pi)= 1.976 rpm

If you wanted to find a sample of fermium, which has an atomic number of 100, where would you look?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Fermium is a synthetic element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is an actinide and the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared.[3] A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.

It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Enrico Fermi, one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. Its chemistry is typical for the late actinides, with a preponderance of the +3 oxidation state but also an accessible +2 oxidation state. Owing to the small amounts of produced fermium and all of its isotopes having relatively short half-lives, there are currently no uses for it outside basic scientific research.
