Answer:

968 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Given that

mass m = 2 kg

height h = 20 m

velocity v = 24 m / s

Now

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

= K.E at top + P.E at top

= ( 1 ÷ 2) mv ^ 2 + mgh

= 576 + 392

= 968 J

Which statement describes why scientific notation is useful? It makes very small numbers into whole numbers. It converts fractio
disa [49]

It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.

Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier. 10^{23} for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.

A 550 N physics student stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator that is supported by a cable. The combined mass of student plu
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(a) The elevator has an acceleration of 2.14 m/s² and direction is downward

(b) The acceleration is a=2.14 m/s²

Explanation:

Let +y be upward direction

For Part (a)

The mass of student (whose weight is 550N) is:

ms=w/g

ms=550/9.8=56.1 kg

Apply ∑Fy=ma

n-m_{s}g=m_{s}a\\

Solve for acceleration a

a=\frac{n-m_{s}g}{m_{s}}\\ a=\frac{430N-550N}{56.1kg} \\a=-2.14m/s^{2}

The elevator has an acceleration of 2.14 m/s² and direction is downward

Part(b)

For the acceleration is the scale reads 670 N

For n=670N

So

a=\frac{n-m_{s}g}{m_{s}}\\ a=\frac{670N-550N}{56.1kg}\\ a=2.14m/s^{2}

How do you calculate percentage uncertainties???
ch4aika [34]


I is just the uncertainty over the actual number multiplied by 100.


example:

36.1( +/- 0.1)

The percentage of the uncertainty here is 0.1/36.1x 100=0.3%
