Jake drops a book out of a window from a height of 10 meters. At what velocity does the book hit the ground?.

Answer: v = 14m/s

Explanation: When jakes drop the book, the book initially only has potential energy (because it is not moving), then the initial energy of the book is E = U = m*g*h

where m is the mass of the book, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height.

When the book is almost hitting the ground, for conservation of the energy, the initial potential energy must be transformed into kinetic energy (because at this point we have h = 0 and we lose all our initial potential energy) where kinetic energy is K = (m/2)*v^2

Then we need to solve the next equation for v, that is the velocity:

m*g*h = (m/2)*v^2

v^2 = (2/m)*m*g*h = 2*g*h

v = √(2*g*h)

where g = 9.8m/s^2 and h = 10m

v = (√(2*9.8*10))m/s = 14m/s

So the book hits the ground with a velocity of 14m/s

I think the best way to answer to this kind of question because some of the elements are missing specially the mass of the book is just states the variables and assigned as the mass of an object. So the initial velocity of an object starts at zero and increase rapidly by 9.8 m/s^2 because it is due to gravity

Calculate the mass (in g) of 346 cm³ of polythene. The density of polythene is 0.95 g/cm³. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

M = 328.70g

Explanation:

From the given values:

V = 346 cm³

M of 1 cm³ of Polythene = 0.95g or 95/100g

Solve:

M = <u>(95×346)</u>

10

= <u>3</u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u>7</u><u>0</u>

100

M = 328.70g

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567
Lynna [10]

Answer:

    IMA of given system =   \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }

Explanation:

  • The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} } .
  • Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by F_{r}. The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. F_{e} .
  • Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is  \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} } .
  • Its mathematical reference would be:

                                                IMA =   \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }
