Answer:

option (e) is correct.

Explanation:

mass of adult, M = 81 kg

Gravitational Potential energy of adult, U = 2000 J

Let the height raised is h.

U = mass of adult x g x h

2000 = 81 x 9.8 x h

h = 2.52 m

mass of adult, m = 18 kg

height raised, h = 2.52 m

Potential energy of child, U' = m x g x h

U' = 18 x 2.52 x 9.8 = 444.44 J

Thus, option (e) is correct.

A 0.25-kg ball attached to a string is rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m twice every second, what is the tension i
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

T = 19.75 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball = 0.25 Kg

radius = 0.5 m

frequency = 2 s⁻¹

tension in the string = ?

angular velocity

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 2

ω = 12.57 rad/s

tension on the string is equal to the centripetal force

T = m ω² r

T = 0.25 x 12.57² x 0.5

T = 19.75 N

Tension in the string is equal to T = 19.75 N

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec            

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car a_1=5.9m/sec^2

Acceleration of the stock car a_2=3.6m/sec^2

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So s_1=s_2

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So \frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately
