The use Major changes in mineral deposits in the rock layers.
Answer:
8) 709.8875 J
9) The object is at 7.24375 m from the ground
10) Kinetic energy increases as the object falls.
Explanation:
We use the expression for the displacement h(t) as a function of time of an object experiencing free fall:
h(t) = hi - (g/2) t^2
hi being the initial position of the object (10m) above ground, g the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t the time (in our case 0.75 seconds):
h(0.75) = 10 - 4/9 (0.75)^2 = 7.24375 m
This is the position of the 10 kg object after 0.75 seconds (answer for part 9)
Knowing this position we can calculate the potential energy of the object when it is at this height, using the formula:
U = m g h = 10kg * 9.8 (m/s^2) * 7.24375 m = 709.8875 J (answer for part 8)
Part 10)
the kinetic energy of the object increases as it gets closer to ground, since its velocity is increasing in magnitude because is being accelerated in its motion downwards.
They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.
-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.
-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.
