If a ball is dropped from a height​ (H) its velocity will increase until it hits the ground​ (assuming that aerodynamic drag due

to the air is​ negligible). During its​ fall, its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If the ball is dropped from a height of 720720 centimeters​ [cm], and the impact velocity is 3939 feet per second​ [ft/s], determine the value of gravity in units of meters per second squared ​[m/s2​].

Answer:

9.801 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 39 ft/s

s = Displacement = 720 cm = 7.2 m

a = Acceleration

Converting to m/s

39\ ft/s=\frac{39}{3.281}=11.88\ m/s

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{11.88^2-0^2}{2\times 7.2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.801\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the ball is 9.801 m/s²

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

A helicopter (m = 3250 kg) is cruising at a speed of 56.9 m/s atan altitude of 185 m. What is the total mechanical energy of the
taurus [48]

Answer:

The mechanical energy of the helicopter is 1.12\times 10^7\ J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the helicopter, m = 3250 kg

Speed of the helicopter, v = 56.9 m/s

Position of the helicopter, h = 185 m

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called its kinetic energy. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3250\times (56.9)^2  

E=5.26\times 10^6\ J

The energy possessed by an object due to its position is called its potential energy. It is given by :

E=mgh

E=3250\times 9.8\times 185  

E=5.89\times 10^6\ J

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy of the system. It is given by :

M=5.26\times 10^6+5.89\times 10^6

M=11.15\times 10^6\ J

or

M=1.12\times 10^7\ J

So, the mechanical energy of the helicopter is 1.12\times 10^7\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe electronegativity, and explain the trend of electronegativity in the Periodic Table
vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the property of an atom that attracts the shared pair of an electron to itself. There is a trend in the periodic table.

While moving down in a group, the electronegativity decreases. This is due to the reason that as we move down the number of shells added and so the electron become very far from the pull of the nucleus.

As we move across a period the electronegativity increases. This is because of the no. of charge on the nucleus increase.
