You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the
OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

v_f^2 = 2gx

v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}

v_f = 7.79m/s

Now from Newton's second law we know that

F = ma

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

F = m\frac{dv}{dt}

Replacing we have that,

F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}

F = 1386.62N

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

A certain piece of metal (density 9.45 grams per cubic centimeter) has the shape of a hockey puck with a diameter of 13 cm and a
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.0195 m

Explanation:

\rho _{p} = density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³

d_{p} = diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m

h_{p} = height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

\rho _{m} = density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³

d = depth of puck below surface of mercury

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck

Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck

\rho _{m} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} d ) g = \rho _{p} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} h_{p} ) g\\\rho _{m} ( d ) = \rho _{p} ( h_{p} )\\(13600) d = (9450) (0.028)\\d = 0.0195 m
