Answer:

2.0 m

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy of a body due to motion.

According to the law of conservation of energy,

Kinetic Energy = potential Energy = mgs

Where m = mass (kg) , g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²) , s = distance or height (m).

Kinetic energy = 4.0 J , s = 1.0 m , g= 9.8m/s² , m=?

∴ m = kinetic Energy/(gs)

m = 4/(1 ×9.8) = 0.4081 Kg.

When the initial kinetic energy 8.0 J

∴ Distance (s) = 8.0/(0.4081 × 9.8)

Distance (s) = 2.00031

Distance (s) ≈ 2.0 m

∴ the block would slide 2.0 m

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?

REY [17]

On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity. I hope this helps, have a nice day!

After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

$15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr$

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

$V=\frac{distance}{time}$

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

$V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}$

so

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

$V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i$

and

$V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j$

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

$V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr$

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

$V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr$

and

$V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr$

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

$V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr$

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

$speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2} }$

speed= 209.47 km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.599 kg ball is released at a height of 2.18 m above the floor with a speed of 7.05

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

$W_{drag} = 4.223\,J$

Explanation:

The situation can be described by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

$U_{g,A}+K_{A} = U_{g,B} + K_{B} + W_{drag}$

The work done on the ball due to drag is:

$W_{drag} = (U_{g,A}-U_{g,B})+(K_{A}-K_{B})$

$W_{drag} = m\cdot g\cdot (h_{A}-h_{B})+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{A}^{2}-v_{B}^{2})$

$W_{drag} = (0.599\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (2.18\,m-3.10\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.599\,kg)\cdot [(7.05\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(4.19\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]$

$W_{drag} = 4.223\,J$
