A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?

1 answer:

6 0

Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.
ME
=mgh
=0.005 x 9.81 x 3
=0.147J

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram

bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

$v_a = 70 mph$

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

$v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_a = 350 m$

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{350}{31.3}$

$t = 11.2 s$

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

$v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}$

$v_b = 22.35 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_b = 590 feet$

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

$d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m$

now the time to hit the other car is

$t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}$

$t_b = 8.05 s$

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec

marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

$\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

$0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials$

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.

How much work is done in holding a 10 newton sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

W = 0
