The decrease of PE for a freely falling object equals its gain in KE, in accord with the conservation of energy. By simple algeb

ra, find an equation for an object's speed v after falling a vertical distance h. Do this by equating KE to its change of PE.

Answer:

v =  \sqrt{20h}

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) we are looking here is gravitational potential energy (GPE).

GPE= mgh,

where m is the mass of an object,

g is the gravitational field strength

h is the height of the object

KE= ½mv²,

where m is the mass and v is the velocity

loss in GPE= gain in KE

mgh= ½mv²

gh= ½v² (<em>divide by m throughout</em>)

Assuming that the object is on earth, then g= 10N/Kg

½v²= 10h (<em>substitute g=10</em>)

v²= 20h (<em>×2 on both sides</em>)

v= √20h (<em>square root both sides</em>)

A 15.0 kg fish swimming at 1.10 m/s suddenly gobbles up a 4.50 kg fish that is initially stationary. Ignore any drag effects of
Nana76 [90]

Answer

given.

Mass of big fish = 15 Kg

speed of big fish = 1.10 m/s

mass of the small fish = 4.50 Kg

speed of the fish after eating small fish =?

a) using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂) V

15 x 1.10 + 4.50 x 0 = (15 + 4.5)V

16.5 = 19.5 V

V = 0.846 m/s

b) Kinetic energy before collision

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 15 \times 1.1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2\times 0^2

KE₁ = 9.075 J

Kinetic energy after collision

KE_2= \dfrac{1}{2}(15+4.5)\times 0.846^2

KE₂ = 6.98 J

Change in KE = 6.98 - 9.075 = -2.096 J

hence,

mechanical energy was dissipated during this meal = -2.096 J

A relief airplane is delivering a food package to a group of people stranded on a very small island. The island is too small for
strojnjashka [21]

speed of the plane is given as

v = 442 km/h = 122.8 m/s

height of the plane is

h = 575 m

acceleration due to gravity is

g = 9.80 m/s^2

part a)

when package is dropped its vertical speed is zero so we can use kinematics to find the time of drop

\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

575 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.80*t^2

t = 10.83 s

Part b)

Horizontal distance moved by the package is given by

\delta x = v_x * t

\delta x = 122.8 * 10.83

\delta x = 1330.3 m

Part c)

final speed in x direction

v_x = 122.8 m/s

final speed in y direction

v_y = 9.8*10.83 = 106.13 m/s

so net speed as it hit the ground will be

v = \sqrt{v_y^2 + v_x^2}

v = \sqrt{122.8^2 + 106.13^2}

v = 162.3 m/s

When fossil fuels are burnt, what 2 gases are given off?
Mkey [24]
Salutations!

When fossil fuels are burnt, what 2 gases are given off?

When fossil fuels are burnt, the following are one of the two gases when they are given off:

→ Carbon dioxide: Carbon dioxide is a green house gas, and plays a major role in the global warming.

→ Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide is a gas that is dangerous to human beings when released.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

A rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 69.2 m/s2. Calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an a
goldenfox [79]

According to Newton's 3rd law, there will be equal and opposite force on the astronaut which is  -6048 N

<h3>What does Newton's third law say ?</h3>

The law state that in every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction.

Given that a rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 69.2 m/s2. We are to calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an astronaut of mass 87.4 kg, including his space suit.

Let us first calculate the force involved in the acceleration of the rocket by using the formula

F = ma

Where mass m = 87.4 kg, acceleration a = 69.2 m/s2

Substitute the two parameters into the formula

F = 87.4 x 69.2

F = 6048.08 N

According to the Newton's 3rd law, there will be equal and opposite force on the astronaut.

Therefore, the normal force acting on the astronaut is -6048 N approximately
