Answer:

1890J

Explanation:

375+45 = 420kg (total mass)

kinetic energy = 1/2 × mass × velocity²

1/2 × 420 × 3² = 1890J

If it takes a ball dropped from rest 2.261 s to fall to the ground, from what height H was it released? Express your answer in m
algol [13]

Answer:

Height, H = 25.04 meters

Explanation:

Initially the ball is at rest, u = 0

Time taken to fall to the ground, t = 2.261 s

Let H is the height from which the ball is released. It can be calculated using the second equation of motion as :

H=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, a = g

H=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2            

H=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (2.261)^2

H = 25.04 meters

So, the ball is released form a height of 25.04 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.18 kg is at rest on the horizontal frictionless surface of the rink. A player applies a horizonta
Leya [2.2K]

Hello!

\large\boxed{0.018 N}

Begin by finding the acceleration of the puck. Use the kinematic equation:

d = v_{i} + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

The initial velocity is 0 m/s since the object was at rest, so we can rewrite the equation as:

d =  \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Plug in the given distance and time:

1.25 = \frac{1}{2}a(5^{2})\\\\2.50 = 25a\\\\a = 0.1 m/s^{2}

Find the net force using the formula F = m · a (Newton's Second Law)

F = 0.18 · 0.1

F = 0.018 N

A 45.0 kg student runs at a constant velocity up the incline 6 metres high. If the power output of the student is 1.50 x 103 W,
serg [7]

Answer:

The time taken is 1.76 s.

Explanation:

mass of student, m = 45 kg

height, h = 6 m

power, P = 1500 W

Power is defined as the rate of doing work.

Work done in moving height is

W = m g h

Let the time is t.

P = m g h / t

1500 = 45 x 9.8 x 6 / t

t = 1.76 s

Define the term acceleration due to gravity
kifflom [539]

Answer

Acceleration

Acceleration Means rate of Change of velocity with respect to time.

acceleration due to gravity

when a body falls freely means no other force act on it except gravitational force that time velocity of object does not remains constant but it changes as it approaches towards the ground it means body get accelerated  and this acceleration which is gained by the body due to gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity it is denoted by g. Acceleration due to gravity is different on different planet. SI unit of  is m/s^2 . On earth its standard value is 9.80665m/s^2.
