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 potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.20 rev/s in 23.8 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.053 rad/s^2

Explanation:

0.2 rev/s = 0.2 rev/s * 2π rad/rev = 0.4π rad/s

Since the angular acceleration is assumed to be constant, and the wheel's angular speed is increasing from rest (0 rad/s) to 0.4π rad/s within 23.8s. Then the angular acceleration must be

\alpha = \Delta \omega / \Delta t = \frac{0.4 \pi - 0}{23.8} = 0.053 rad/s^2

How much energy must be absorbed by water with a mass of 0.5 kg in order to raise the temperature from 30°C to 65°C? Note: Water
kvasek [131]

Answer:

73325J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 0.5kg

Initial temperature  = 30°C

Final temperature  = 65°C

Specific heat capacity  = 4190J/kg°C

Unknown:

Amount of energy absorbed = ?

Solution:

The amount of energy absorbed can be derived using the expression below;

                H  = m c Δt

H is the amount of energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat

Δt is the change in temperature

      H  = 0.5 x 4190 x (65 - 30 )

     H  = 73325J

If the lily pads are spaced 2.4 m apart and Ferdinand jumps with a speed of 5 m/s taking 0.6 s to go from lily pad to lily pad,
Zina [86]

Answer:

36.87^{\circ}

Explanation:

v = Velocity of Ferdinand = 5 m/s

\theta = Angle of jump

T = Time taken = 0.6 s

R = Distance between lily pads = 2.4 m

Horizontal range is given by

R=v_xT\\\Rightarrow R=vcos\theta T\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{2.4}{5\times 0.6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=36.87^{\circ}

The angle at which Ferdinand make each of his jumps is 36.87^{\circ}
