A brick is dropped from a big scaffold. What is its velocity after 4.0s?

Physics
1 answer:
Flura [38]2 years ago
3 0

The velocity of the brick is 39.2 m/s downward

Explanation:

The motion of the brick is a free fall motion, since the object is affected only by the force of gravity. Therefore, it has a uniformly accelerated motion towards the ground, with constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2.

So, we can find its velocity using the suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the brick in this problem (taking downward as positive direction)

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, its velocity after t = 4.0 s is:

v=0+(9.8)(4.0)=39.2 m/s

Downward, because the sign is positive.

What happens to the appearance of an object as it gets hotter?
lana [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When an object is heated then it becomes brighter and bluish compared to the initial condition. This happens because when an object is given heat then the electron in the ground state gets excited and reaches some higher state. After reaching a higher state electron make the transition to lower state and simultaneously exhibit the color which is visible with naked eyes.

A ball whose mass is 0.3 kg hits the floor with a speed of 5 m/s and rebounds upward with a speed of 2 m/s. If the ball was in c
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Change in momentum equals impulse which is a product of force and time

Change in momentum is given by m(v-u)

Equating this to impulse formula then

m(v-u)=Ft

Making F the subject of the formula then

F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t}

Take upward direction as positive then downwards is negative

Substituting m with 0.3 kg, v with 2 m/s, and u with -5 m/s and t with 0.0015 s then

F=\frac {0.3(2--5)}{0.0015}=1400N

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

Humans first traveled to the Moon in a spacecraft in 1969. What happened as the spacecraft traveled farther from Earth?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The answer is C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

Explanation:

Gravity, a force, is dependent on the mass of the object exerting the gravity and the distance of an outside object from that object. The larger the object, the more gravity it will exert on an outside object. This force decreases as you move away from the object, but it will always still exist and never be equal to 0.

A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?
Ilya [14]
When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.
