Answer:

v = 31.32 [m/s]  

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation, which tells us that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy or vice versa. The potential energy can be calculated by the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

Epot = potential energy [J]

m = mass = 25 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 50 [m]

Now replacing:

E_{pot}=25*9.81*50\\E_{pot}= 12262.5[J]

When the rock falls the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

E_{pot}=E_{k}\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

where:

Ek = kinetic energy [J]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now clearing v:

v^{2} =\frac{E_{k}*2}{m}\\v=\sqrt{(2*12262)/25}\\v = 31.32 [m/s]

A cyclist acceleration from 0m/s to 8m/s in 3second. what is his acceleration?​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

2.66 m/s² .

Explanation:

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s

Final Velocity , v = 8 m/s

Time Taken , t = 3 s

So , Acceleration = (v-u)/t = (8 m/s - 0 m/s) /3 sec . = 8/3 m/s² = 2.66 m/s²

Sirius A has a luminosity of 26 LSun and a surface temperature of about 9400 K.What is its radius?
wlad13 [49]

Answer

Given,

Sirius A surface temperature,T = 9400 K

Sirius A luminosity,L = 26 L₀

L₀ is the luminosity of sun.

Radius of sun =  695700000 m

Temperature on sun surface = 5780 K

Luminous intensity is given by:-

L=4 \pi R^{2} \sigma T^{4}

Now

\frac{L}{L_{0}}=\frac{4 \pi R^{2} \sigma T^{4}}{4 \pi R_{0}^{2} \sigma T_{0}^{4}}=26

\Rightarrow \frac{R^{2} T^{4}}{R_{0}^{2} T_{0}^{4}}=26

\Rightarrow R^{2}=26 \times \frac{R^{2} T_{0}^{4}}{T^{4}}=26 \times \frac{695700000^{2} \times 5780^{4}}{9400^{4}}

R=1341246640\ m=1.34 \times 10^{9}

If you dropped a ball off a building, how far would it fall in 3 seconds?
tangare [24]
If you drop a ball off a building it increases its speed by 10 m/s so in 3 seconds it’s speed would be 30 m/s and it’s distance would be 45m
