Answer:

2.943 J

Explanation:

Data:

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

mass of sand  = 0.5 kg

distance  = 0.6

Thermal energy  = the energy possessed by the falling sand

The force of sand = ma

                              = 0.5 * 9.81\\= 4.905 N

However, the energy is given as the force multiplied by the distance, so

E =fd

   4.905 * 0.6\\= 2.943 J

Therefore, the thermal energy is 2.943 joules

Answer:

<em>The thermal energy added would be 2.94 J</em>

Explanation:

Part 1

The increase in thermal energy is equal to the new potential energy of the body. As the sand falls and stop at 0.6 m it gains thermal energy in form of the potential energy;

Given the mass = 5 kg

g acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^{2}

increase in U would be  

+U = mgh

       = 0.5 x 0.6 x 9.8

      = 2.94 J

Therefore 2.94 J is added to the thermal energy of the body.

lara [203]

At the ground the ball will always have velocity along the direction of gravity. If upward motion is taken positive it will always have negative velocity at the ground because, if the ball was given an initial upward velocity then gravity will decelerate it and bring it down with a negative final velocity. If the ball is given an initial downward velocity then the ball will be further accelerated by gravity in the downward direction only, again maintaining negative direction. The magnitude however in both cases will be different. the final velocity at the ground will have higher magnitude in case of elevator moving downwards.

What is the Force in Newtons exerted by cart with a mass of 0.75 kg and an Acceleration of 6m/s2?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>4.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.75 × 6 = 4.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
