Net force is basically the force an object has when changing direction, so the answer would be D.
Seconds squared is the time unit of acceleration. It represents the change in distance units per second per second. For example, 3 m/sec² means a distance covering 3 meters in the first second, then 9 meters in the 2nd second, and 37 meters in the third second. (3^1, 3^2, 3^3).
Acceleration is part of Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration. Units of work: joule = kg·m²/s², and power: watts = kg·m²/s³ all contain accelerations.
Actually, they're not. There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around. And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night.
Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.
Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ? Here's how to
think about it:
The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.
Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.
In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ? Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun. So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.
THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.
Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:
y = gt²/2
0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2
t = 0.4064 s
whereas the horizontal motion is computed by:
x = (vx)t
4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s)
4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)
(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed.
(vy) = gt
(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s)
(vy) = 3.99 m/s
speed with which it hit the ground:
v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²]
v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²]
v = 12.12 m / s
Answer:
33.516 kJ
Explanation:
Potential energy is given by:
PE = mgh
Where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this case:
PE = 38kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 90m = 33516 kg m^2/s^2 = 33516 J = 33.516 kJ
