A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0 m/s over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5

.40 m and friction is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the fish when it hits the water?

Here we go.
My abbreviations; KE = Kinetic Energy; GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy.

So first off, we know the fish has KE right when the bird releases it. Why? Because it has horizontal velocity after released! So let’s calculate it:
KE = 1/2(m)(V)^2
KE = 1/2(2)(18)^2
KE = 324 J

Nice!
We also know that the fish has GPE at its maximum height before release:
GPE = mgh
GPE = (2)(9.81)(5.40)
GPE = 105.95 J

Now, based on the *queue dramatic voice* LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, we know all of the initial energy of the fish will be equal to the amount of final energy. And since the only form of energy when it hits the water is KE, we can write:
KEi + GPEi = KEf
(Remember - we found the initial energies before!)
(324) + (105.95) = KEf
KEf = 429.95J
And that’s you’re final answer! Notice how this value is MORE than the initial KE from before (324 J) - this is because all of the initial GPE from before was transformed into more KE as the fish fell (h decreased) and sped up (V increased).

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

Describe how a wind turbine generates energy.
Artyom0805 [142]
The wind Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

A 6 cm diameter drill bit is used to drill a cylindrical hole through the middle of a sphere of radius 5 cm. What is the volume
ira [324]

Answer:

2.4086 * 10^(-4)  m^3

Explanation:

Volume of sphere = 4/3 * pi * r1^3

Volume of cylinder = pi*r2^2*h

r1 = 0.05 m

r2 = 0.03 m

Hence,

Resulting Volume = Volume of sphere - Volume of cylinder

= \frac{4}{3}*pi*(0.05)^3 - pi*(0.03)^2*(0.1)\\= 5.236 * 10^(-4)  - 2.8274*10^(-4) \\= 2.4086 * 10^(-4) m^3

What assumption can be made about the densities of two different spheres that have
Triss [41]

Answer:

Their densities are different as well

Explanation:

Density is worked out by dividing mass by volume. If the mass was the same then the densities would be as well. But it's not.

when 10 similar coins are dropped into a graduated cylinder from 75 ml to 100ml. what is average volume of each coin?​
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

Volume of 10 coins = 100ml - 75ml = 25ml

Volume of 1 coin = 25ml / 10 = 2.5ml

The average volume of each coin is 2.5ml.
