A snowball starting at rest rolls down a hill and reaches 5 m/s. If the hill is

Physics
1 answer:
Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The acceleration of the snowball is 0.3125

Explanation:

The initial speed of the snowball up the hill, u = 0

The speed the snowball reaches, v = 5 m/s

The length of the hill, s = 40 m

The equation of motion of the snowball given the above parameters is therefore;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

Where;

a = The acceleration of the snowball

Plugging in the values, we have;

5² = 0² + 2 × a × 40

∴ 2 ×  40 × a  = 5² = 25

80 × a = 25

a = 25/80 = 5/16

a = The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s².

The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s² = 0.3125 m/s² .

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

False, because current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor.

Explanation:

Current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor. Thus, the weight on the scale will be the same when current is flowing and when current is not flowing in the copper tube.

Therefore, If a copper tube has current flowing to the right in the presence of a magnetic field going forward ("into the board"), we expect the weight on the scale to be the same whether current is flowing or not.

It takes 24 hours for _______?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to other, distant, stars. Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.

A 2kg watermelon is dropped from a 4m tall roof a) use the appropriate kinematic equations to determine the instantaneous veloci
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

8.85m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.

When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.

We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement d = (14 m) i hat - (11 m) j along a straight embankment by rushing water,
Alika [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Displacement in ice block, d=14i-11j

Force exerted by water, F=158i-179j

To find,

Work done by the force during the displacement.

Solve,

We know that the product of force and displacement is called work done. It is also equal to the dot product of force and displacement as :

W=F.d

W=(158i-179j).(14i-11j)

We know that, i.i = j.j = k.k = 1

W=2212+1969=4181\ J

So, the work done by the force on the block during the displacement is 4181 Joules.
