What is the height of a building that an object is dropped from if it has a mass of 3 kg and hits the ground with a velocity of

50 m/s?

Answer:

125 m

Explanation:

m = 3kg

v = 50m/s

u = 0m/s

a = +g = 10m/s²

s = H = ?

using the formula,

v² = u² + 2as

50² = 0² + 2(10)(H)

2500 = 20H

H = 2500/20

H = 125m

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point

vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

$v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s$

$\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m$

Therefore the frequency would be given as

$f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}$

$f = 57.14Hz$

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi *57.14$

$\omega = 359.03rad/s$

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

$V_{max} = A\omega$

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

$V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)$

$V_{max} = 3.59m/s$

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

A ball is released from the top of a tower of height h meters. it takes T seconds to reach the ground . what is the position of

alekssr [168]

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height = 1/2 a T^2 now change to T/3

now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2 =<u> 1/9</u> 1/2 a T^2 <===== it is 1/9 of the way down or 8/9 h

A neutral solid metal sphere of radius 0.1 m is at the origin, polarized by a point charge of 2 × 10−8 C at location m. At locat

liraira [26]

Answer: E = $1.8 *10 ^{4} N$

Explanation: The formulae for intensity of an electric field of a solid metal sphere relative to a point is given below

$E =\frac{Kq}{r^{2} }$ r

where $k=9* 10^{9}N/m^{2}$ , $q=2 *10 ^{-8} c$ , r = 0.1m r = is the position vector of the charge.

it has been stated in the question that the charge is placed at the center thus it has no position vector.

$E=\frac{9 * 10^{9}* 2* 10^{-8} }{0.1^{2} }\\ =\frac{18* 10^{1} }{0.01} \\=\frac{18* 10^{1} }{1 *10^{-2} } = 1.8*10^{4} N$
