Two rocks of masses 5 kg and 10 kg a dropped from rest from a height of 20 m above ground. Ignore all friction and air resistanc

e. Just before
they hit the ground, which statement is true about the rocks?
(A) The value for the acceleration of the 5 kg rock is the same as the value for the 10 kg rock, but their velocity values are different.
(B) The values for the acceleration and velocity of the 5 kg rock are greater than the values for the 10 kg rock.
(C) The values for the acceleration and velocity of the 5 kg rock are less than the values for the 10 kg rock.
(D) The values for the acceleration and velocity of the 5 kg rock are the same as the values for the 10 kg rock.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

F=ma

F of 5 kg rock = 49N

F of 10 kg rock = 98 N

Divide by respective masses to get acceleration, and of course you will get 9.8 m/s^2 for both.

Now, use potential energy equals kinetic energy. mgh=(1/2)mv^2 mass cancels out of the equation, since it's on both sides, so we can stop right there. We have algebraically determined that mass does not affect acceleration or velocity!

Hope this helped.

What is the voltage across each resistor?
kogti [31]

Answer:

see solution below

Explanation:

The given resistors are connected in series.

Equivalent resistance in series = 30 + 55 + 15

Equivalent resistance in series Rt = 100 ohms

Since the potential difference in the circuit = 36V

Get the current in the circuit first

I = V/Rt

I = 36/100

I = 0.36A

Get the voltage across 30ohms resistor;

V30 = 0.36 * 30

V30  = 10.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 30ohms resistor is 10.8volts

Get the voltage across 55ohms resistor;

V55 = 0.36 * 55

V55  = 19.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 55ohms resistor is 19.8volts

Get the voltage across 15ohms resistor;

V15 = 0.36 * 15

V15  = 5.4volts

Hence the voltage across the 15ohms resistor is 5.4volts

(10%) Problem 5: The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants. Mass
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Incomplete Question.The Complete question is

The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants.  Mass of the Earth: 5.97 × 10^24  kg (assume a uniform mass distribution)  Radius of the Earth: 6371 km  Distance of Earth from Sun: 149,600,000 km

(i)Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to rotation about its axis, in joules.

(ii)What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the Sun, in joules?  

Answer:

(i) KE= 2.56e29 J

(ii) KE= 2.65e33 J

Explanation:

i) Treating the Earth as a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its axis is

I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.97e24kg * (6.371e6m)²

I = 9.69e37 kg·m²

About its axis,

ω = 2π rads/day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s

ω= 7.27e-5 rad/s,

so its rotational kinetic energy

KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 9.69e37kg·m² * (7.27e-5rad/s)²

KE= 2.56e29 J

(ii) About the sun,

I = mR²

I= 5.97e24kg * (1.496e11m)²

I= 1.336e47 kg·m²

and the angular velocity

ω = 2π rad/yr * 1yr/365.25day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s

ω= 1.99e-7 rad/s

so  

KE = ½ * 1.336e47kg·m² * (1.99e-7rad/s)²

KE= 2.65e33 J

A hair dryer draws a current of 10 A plugged into a 120 V outlet. What is the resistance of the hair dryer?
Ganezh [65]
<span>This problem can be solved by the formula used to find resistance. The formula is R=V/I which basically means divide the Voltage by the Current to find the Resistance in an object. Ohm's law.</span>

A battery-operated car utilizes a 12.0 V system. Initially, the car is at rest at the base of a 195 m high hill. Some time later
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

140265.8 C = 1.403 × 10⁵ C

Explanation:

The battery's electric potential energy is used to account for the kinetic and potential work done in moving the car up this hill.

Potential work required to move the 757 kg car up a vertical height of 195 m = mgh

P.E = 757 × 9.8 × 195 = 1446627 J

Kinetic work done = (1/2)(m)(v²)

K.E = (1/2)(757)(25²) = 236562.5 J

Total work done in moving the car up that height = 1446627 + 236562.5 = 1683189.5 J

And this would be equal to the potential of the battery.

For the battery, potential difference = (electric potential energy)/(charges moved)

ΔV = ΔU/q

q = ΔU/ΔV

ΔU = 1683189.5 J

ΔV = 12.0 V

q = 1683189.5/12 = 140265.8 C
