Answer:

the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2 × mass × velocity^2

= 1 ÷ 2 × 4 kg × 40 m/s^2

= 3,200 J

Hence the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin

astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

$v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0$

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

$v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph$

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

$v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph$

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph$

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:

$v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}$

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum. </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}$ (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively. </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}$
