Answer:

0.2 kg

Explanation:

Height of roof from the ground=h=30 m

Gravitational potential energy=P.E=58.8 J

We have to find the mass of the ball.

We know that

Gravitational potential energy of ball= mgh

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

58.8=m\times 9.8\times 30

58.8=294 m

m=\frac{58.8}{294}

Using division property of equality

m=0.2 kg

Hence, the mass of ball=0.2 kg

We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.

A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. At the same time, another ball is thrown
soldi70 [24.7K]

5.1 m

Explanation:

Let's set the ground as our reference point. Let's also call the dropped ball to be ball #1 and its height above the ground at any time t is given by

y_1 = 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where 10 represents its initial height or displacement of 10 m above the ground. At the same time, the displacement of the second ball with respect to the ground y_2, is given by

y_2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

At the instant the two balls collide, they will have the same displacement, therefore

y_1 = y_2 \Rightarrow 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

or

v_0t = 10\:\text{m}

Solving for t, we get

t = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{v_0} = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{10\:\text{m/s}} = 1\:\text{s}

We can use either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2) to hind the height where they collide. Let's use Eqn(1):

y_1 = 10\:\text{m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 5.1\:\text{m}

What is the critical angle of a light beam passed from a medium (n=2) to a medium (n=1.2)?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

θ_c = 36.87°

Explanation:

Index of refraction for index medium; n_i = 2

Index of refraction for Refractive medium; n_r = 1.2

Formula to find the critical angle is given;

n_i(sin θ_c) = n_r(sin 90)

Where θ_c is critical angle.

Thus;

2 × (sin θ_c) = 1.2 × 1

(sin θ_c) = 1.2/2

(sin θ_c) = 0.6

θ_c = sin^(-1) 0.6

θ_c = 36.87°

Equation for ke = 1/2mv^2
1) ke = 1/2 x 5000 x (2x2)
= 10,000J
2) ke = 1/2 x 4000 x (3x3)
= 18,000J
So Object 2 has more Kinetic Energy
