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.

You hold a ruler that has a charge on its tip 6 cm above a small piece of tissue paper to see if it can be picked up. The ruler
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

q=1.4*10^{-9}C

Explanation:

Given data:

charge on ruler = -14μC

Mass of tissue is 5 g

To Know the minimum charge,  equate electrostatic force to weight  

we have F = W

so\frac{KQq}{r^2} =mg

putting all value in equation,

=\frac{9*10^9*(14*10^{-6})*q}{0.06^2} = 5* 10^{-3}*9.8

solving for q

q =\frac{5* 10^{-3}*9.8 *0.06^2}{9*10^9*(14*10^{-6})}

or q=1.4*10^{-9}C

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

i'm not sure if you are asking as a  personal question or a book question so i'm taking it personal.

Explanation:

I was doing a simple task that was handed to me to test my responsibility and I agreed (knowing i am responsible :3). my first thought was "man , this is easy!" but then i started seeing the other kids slaking off and quiting their tasks. I thought that was against the rules, but then i saw my bff doing it too and i thought "this should be ok then!" so i did the same. other kids where still doing it. the teacher came, saw the ones still working and smiled... but when the teacher looked at the ones slaking off omg... his face was like * im gonna kill yall* we took one big gulp and whined. the teacher awarded the ones who completed the task... the others , we had to do our original task but doubled... for 3 weeks!!! it was awful!!!

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

4. A rock is thrown from the edge of the top of a 100 m tall building at some unknown angle above the horizontal. The rock strik
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projectile be v and angle of throw be θ.

The projectile takes 5 s to touch the ground during which period it falls vertically by 100 m

considering its vertical displacement

h = - ut +1/2 g t²

100 = - vsinθ x 5 + .5 x 9.8 x 5²

5vsinθ =  222.5

vsinθ = 44.5

It covers 160 horizontally in 5 s

vcosθ x 5 = 160

v cosθ = 32

squaring and adding

v²sin²θ +v² cos²θ = 44.4² + 32²

v² = 1971.36 + 1024

v = 54.73 m /s
