Answer:

The speed of the block before it strikes the floor is 0.217 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 1.5 kg

height above the ground through the block was released, h = 2.4 mm = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m

The speed of the block before it strikes the floor will be maximum.

Let the speed of the block before it strikes the floor = v

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to determine the speed of the block.

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂v² = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 2.4 x 10⁻³)

v = 0.217 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the block before it strikes the floor is 0.217 m/s.

At 9:13AM a car is traveling at 35 miles per hour. Two minutes later, the car istraveling at 85 miles per hour. Prove that are s
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

There is at least one instant which instantaneous acceleration is equal to average acceleration. a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}.

Explanation:

The average acceleration experimented by the car is:

\bar a = \frac{85\,\frac{km}{h} - 35\,\frac{km}{h} }{\frac{2}{60}\,h }

\bar a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}

According to the Rolle's Theorem, there is at least one instant t so that instantaneous acceleration equal to average acceleration for the analyzed interval. That is to say:

v'(c) = \frac{v(\frac{2}{60} )-v(0)}{\frac{2}{60}-0}

If car is accelerating at constant rate, instantaneous acceleration coincides with average acceleration for all instant t. Then, instantaneous acceleration is:

a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}

What state of matter can easily be compressed (squeezed into a much smaller space)? *
avanturin [10]

Answer:

gases.

Explanation:

gases have the highest volume. if you compress (increase pressure) a gas, the volume decreases and it will take up less space as a liquid, and if you compress more, the liquid will become a solid.

additionally info: this is generally true, but as you get into more difficult subjects, this rule does not hold. for example, some substances cannot obtain a certain phase of matter when they are a certain temperature and or pressure. but that could be way more out of this questions league.

An aircraft flies at sea level at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the highest pressure that can be acting on the surface of the airc
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

An aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we determine the highest pressure on the aircraft.

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2

where;

P is the highest pressure on the aircraft

\rho is the density of air = 1.204 kg/m³ at sea level temperature.

V is the velocity of the aircraft = 220 m/s

P = 0.5*1.204*(220)² = 29136.8 N/m²

Therefore, an aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200N. How much force does the bat (moving at 20m/s)
just olya [345]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200 N.

We need to find the force that the bat moving at 20 m/s hit the ball with.

We know that, this probelm is based on Newton's third law of motion. The force that the ball exerting on bat should be equal to the force that the bat exerting in the ball but in opposite direction.

It would mean that the ball hits the ball with a force of 200 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).
