Answer:

t₁ = 3 s

Explanation:

In this exercise, the vertical displacement equation is not given

        y = 240 t + 16 t²

Where y is the displacement, 240 is the initial velocity and 16 is half the value of the acceleration

Let's replace

      864 = 240 t + 16 t²

Let's solve the second degree equation

    16 t² + 240 t - 864 = 0

Let's divide by 16

    t² + 15 t - 54 = 0

The solution of this equation is

     t = [-15 ± √(15 2 - 4 1 (-54)) ] / 2 1

     t = [-15 ±√(225 +216)] / 2

     t = [-15 + - 21] / 2

We have two solutions.

     t₁ = [-15 +21] / 2

     t₁ = 3 s

     t₂ = -18 s

Since time cannot have negative values, the correct t₁ = 3s

A ball of mass 2 kg is kept on the hill of height 3 km. Calculate the potential energy possessed by it ?
zysi [14]
We know that -

P.E=m*g*h

Where,

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=height

First we convert height into meters.

1 km = 1000 meters

3 km = 1000 * 3 meters = 3000 meters

So, putting the values in the above formula, and by taking 'g' = 9.8 m/s², we get-

P.E.= 2*3000*9.8

P.E.= 58800 Joules

P.E.= 58.8 kJ

4.0 kg objects mive a distance of 7.8 m under the action of a cinstant gorce of 5.6 N. how much work is dine on object?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

43.68 J

Explanation:

Distance moved= 7.8 m

Force = 5.6 N

Work Done= Distance moved * Force

                   = 7.8 *5.6

                      =43.68 Joules
