A stone dropped from the top of a 80m high building strikes the ground at 40 m/s after falling for 4 seconds. The stone's potent

ial energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy … (use g = 10 m/s 2)
A) at the moment of impact.
B) 2 seconds after the stone is released.
C) after the stone has fallen 40 m.
D) when the stone is moving at 20 m/s.

At the moment of impact both Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy should be 0, right? So it can't be A), right? Or is this wrong? Is it indeed A)? Please show work and explain it well.

Suppose that you'd like to find out if a distant star is moving relative to the earth. The star is much too far away to detect a

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The speed will be "18km/s". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

According to the question, the values are:

Wavelength,

$\lambda = 656.46 \ nm$

$\Delta \lambda = 0.04$

$c=3\times 10^8$

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} =\frac{v}{c}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $\frac{656.46}{0.04} =\frac{v}{3\times 10^8}$

⇒ $v=\frac{656.46}{0.04} (3\times 10^8)$

⇒ $=16411.5\times 3\times 10^8$

⇒ $=18280 \ m/s$

or,

⇒ $=18 \ km/s$

An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.7 cm and a height of 67 cm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$1.9\times 10^{-4}$

$1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2.7 cm

F = Force = $3.2\times 10^4\ N$

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

$\sigma$ = Stress = $\frac{F}{A}$

E = Young's modulus = $7\times 10^{10}\ Pa$

$\epsilon$ = Strain

$L_0$ = Original length = 67 cm

$\Delta L$ = Change in length

Young's modulus is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\frac{3.2\times 10^4}{\pi 0.027^2}}{7\times 10^{10}}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=0.0001996=1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is $1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is given by

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\epsilon\times L_0\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.67\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.0001273\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The cylinder height decreases by $1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

a fan is rotating clockwise and its acceleration has a positive sign. is the angular velocity of the fan speeding up, slowing do

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The angular velocity is slowing down.

Explanation:

By convention, if a rigid body is rotating clockwise, the angular velocity is negative.
If the angular acceleration has a positive sign, since the angular acceleration and the angular velocity have opposite signs, this means that the angular velocity is slowing down.

I have a special thermos that has a vacuum chamber between my hot soup and its outside wall. Because my soup is isolated from it

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

C. My soup will cool down because of radiation.

Explanation:

Since, there is vacuum between hot soup and its outside wall, then heat can not flow through conduction and convection.

The heat then only flows through radiation.

Therefore, the soup will not cool down because of convection or conduction by because of radiation.
