A feather is dropped on the moon from the height of 1.4m. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67ms-1. Determine the tim

1.3s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height = 1.4m

Gravity on moon = 1.67ms⁻¹

Unknown:

Time for feather to fall = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to use one of the motion equation that relates time, gravity and height.

    H = ut + \frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

Sine the body was dropped from rest, initial velocity is zero;

 H = height

  u = initial velocity

  t = time

  g = acceleration due to gravity

since u = 0;

H = \frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

 1.4 = \frac{1}{2} x 1.67 x t²

  t = 1.3s

A 2kg watermelon is dropped from a 4m tall roof a) use the appropriate kinematic equations to determine the instantaneous veloci
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

8.85m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.

When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.

We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?
Tcecarenko [31]
The weight of the meterstick is:
W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance 
d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm
from which we find the value of d2:
d_2 =  \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.

A bicycle rider has a speed of 19.0 m/s at a height of 55.0 m above sea level when he begins coasting down hill. The mass of the
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The mechanical energy of the rider at any height will be 6.34 × 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of the rider is calculated as the sum of the gravitational potential energy plus the kinetic energy. Since there are no dissipative forces (like friction), the mechanical energy of the rider at a height of 55.0 m above the sea level will be the same at a height of 25.0 m (or at any height), because the loss in potential energy will be compensated by a gain in kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy.

Then, calculating the potential and kinetic energy at 55.0 m and 19 m/s, we can obtain the mechanical energy that will be constant:

Mechanical energy = PE + KE

Where:

PE = potential energy.

KE = kinetic energy.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

Then, the potential energy of the rider will be:

PE = 88.0 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 55.0 m = 4.75 × 10⁴ J

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where "m" is the mass of the object and "v" its velocity. Then:

KE = 1/2 · 88.0 kg · (19.0 m/s)²

KE = 1.59 × 10⁴ J

The mechanical energy of the rider will be:

Mechanical energy = PE + KE = 4.75 × 10⁴ J + 1.59 × 10⁴ J = 6.34 × 10⁴ J

This mechanical energy is constant because when the rider coast down the hill, its potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy, so that the sum of potential energy plus kinetic energy remains constant.
