A 5 kg rock is dropped down a vertical mine shaft. How long does it take to reach the bottom, 79 meters below?

Physics
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The time for the rock to reach the bottom is 4.02 seconds.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the rock, m = 5 kg

height of the rock fall, h = 79 meters

The time to drop to the given height is given by;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

where;

t is the time to fall to the bottom

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*79}{9.8} }\\\\t = 4.02 \ s

Therefore, the time for the rock to reach the bottom is 4.02 seconds.

1.How is the law of conservation of energy demonstrated by the movement of the pendulum?
Snezhnost [94]
1. Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, for example, windmills take kinetic energy(movement energy) and convert it into electrical energy using gears and a generator as well as the blades.

so this supports it because the pendulum never reaches the same height twice unless you reset it so the energy is always getting less and less and not randomly getting back onto the pendulum.

2.Gravity, friction and air resistance slow it down as well

3. at the top, potential energy is the amount of energy something has relative to the amount it can disperse before stopping, for example, a book on a shelf has more potential energy than that of a book on a table, this is because when the shelf book falls it will create more energy than the table book.

A team of bicyclists are on bikes that require 512 J of work to ride. It takes 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears. Wha
Alja [10]

Answer:

84.4 %

Explanation:

Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %

output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears

input work = 512 J of work to ride.

Mechanical efficiency =  432 J/512 J × 100 %

= 0.844 × 100%

= 84.4 %
