At the top:

         Potential Energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                                       = (30 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 meters)

                                       =      882 joules

At the bottom:

           Kinetic Energy  =  (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                       = (1/2) x (30 kg) x (3 m/s)²

                                       =        (15 kg)  x  (9 m²/s²)

                                       =              135 joules .

He had  882 joules of potential energy at the top,
but only  135 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom.

Friction stole  (882 - 135) = 747 joules of his energy while he slid down.
The seat of his jeans must be pretty warm.

For a system released from rest at θ = 0° when a constant couple moment M = 100 N.m is applied,  the speed of the 10-kg block is mathematically given as

V=4.33m/s

<h3>What is the speed of the 10-kg block?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the workdone  is mathematically given as

W=T tehta<dtheta

W=100(90*\pi/180)

W=1.5707*100

W=1.57Nm

The change in potential energy across the pulley

dP=mgh

dp=10*9.81*111.8

dp=10.97J

For the thrid position, potential energy is

dP=mg(0.3)

dP=17.658J

dP'=17.658J-13.125

dP'=-4.532J

For 2nd position dP=0

The change in Kinectic energy across the pulley\

dK.E=0.5mv^2

For 1st

dk.E=0.5m(10)^2

2nd

dK.E=0.5Iw^2

dK.E=0.5(7.5*10^-3)(v^2/0.05)^2

3rd

2nd=3rd

In conclusion,

157.07=dKE+dP.E

157.07=5v^2+ (7.5*10^-3)(v^2/0.05)^2+10.97-4.53

V=4.33m/s

List the submultiples and multiple units of length, mass, and time with respect to real-life situations. How are these units are
dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of physical quantities namely the fundamental and the derived quantities. Fundamental quantities are independent quantities on which derived quantities depends on. Length, mass and time are examples of fundamental quantities.

The SI unit of length is meters. A meter is a multiple unit. Its submultiple units are centimetres (10⁻²metres), kilometres (10³metres), decimetres (10⁻¹metres) etc

The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg). The only sub multiple unit used in real-life situation is grams.

1 kg = 100 grams

The SI unit of time is seconds. The multiple units are the minutes, hours, weeks, days and years.

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 day = 24 * 3600 = 86,400 secs

Maru [420]

Myopia

Explanation:

myopia is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. It can be corrected corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.
