They are attractive
They don’t depend on charge
Answer:
The size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the wrecking ball, m = 1500 kg
speed of the wrecking ball, v = 3.5 m/s
distance the ball moved the wall, d = 75 cm = 0.75 m
Apply the principle of work-energy theorem;
Kinetic energy of the wrecking ball = work done by the ball on the wall
¹/₂mv² = F x d
where;
F is the size of the force that pushes the wall
¹/₂mv² = F x d
¹/₂ x 1500 x 3.5² = F x 0.75
9187.5 = 0.75F
F = 9187.5 / 0.75
F = 12,250 N
Therefore, the size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.
Answer:
d = 1.07 mile
Explanation:
The rationale for this method is that the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound, the definition of speed in uniform motion is
v = d / t
d = v t
the speed of sound is worth
v = 343 m / s
Therefore, the speed of sound must be multiplied by time to do this, all the units must be in the same system, as the distance in miles is requested
v = 343 m/s (1mile/1609 m) (3600s/1 h) = 343 (2.24) = 767.4 mile/h
v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1609 m) = 0.213, mile/ s
If the measured time is t = 5s we multiply it by the speed
we substitute
d = 0.213 5
d = 1.07 mile
If you want to calculate the speed, this method in general is not widely used, since you must know the distance where the lightning occurred, which is relatively complicated.
