An object is released from rest near and above Earth’s surface from a distance of 10m. After applying the appropriate kinematic

equation, a student predicts that it will take 1.43s for the object to reach the ground with a speed of 14.3m/s . After performing the experiment, it is found that the object reaches the ground after a time of 3.2s. How should the student determine the actual speed of the object when it reaches the ground? Assume that the acceleration of the object is constant as it falls.

Answer:

v_y = 12.54 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial vertical distance y_o = 10 m

- Initial velocity v_y,o  = 0 m/s

- The acceleration of object in air = a_y

- The actual time taken to reach ground t = 3.2 s

Find:

- Determine the actual speed of the object when it reaches the ground?

Solution:

- Use kinematic equation of motion to compute true value for acceleration of the ball as it reaches the ground:

                             y = y_o + v_y,o*t + 0.5*a_y*t^2

                             0 = 10 + 0 + 0.5*a_y*(3.2)^2

                             a_y = - 20 / (3.2)^2 = 1.953125 m/s^2

- Use the principle of conservation of total energy of system:

                             E_p - W_f = E_k

Where,                  E_p = m*g*y_o

                             W_f = m*a_y*(y_i - y_f)      ..... Effects of air resistance

                             E_k = 0.5*m*v_y^2

Hence,                  m*g*y_o - m*a_y*(y_i - y_f) = 0.5*m*v_y^2

                             g*(10) - (1.953125)*(10) = 0.5*v_y^2

                             v_y = sqrt (157.1375)

                            v_y = 12.54 m/s

Which scenario will drain the battery in the circuit diagram fastest: three 20 W bulbs in positions one, two, and three or 80 W
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.

Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.

If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.

In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.

In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1200 kg object that is moving at a speed of 24m/s?
n200080 [17]
Here, K.E. = 1/2 * mv²

So, K.E. = 1/2 * (1200) * (24)²

K.E. = 1/2 * 1200 * 576

K.E. = 600 * 576

K.E. = 345,600 J

Hope this helps!

Please tell me why the answer is zero
Oduvanchick [21]

This question is checking to see whether you understand the meaning
of "displacement".

Displacement is a vector: 

-- Its magnitude (size) is the distance between the start-point and
the end-point, no matter what route might have been followed along
the way.

-- Its direction is the direction from the start-point to the end-point.

Talking about the Earth's orbit around the sun, we can forget about
the direction of the displacement, and just talk about its magnitude
(size).

If we pretend that the sun is not moving and dragging the whole
solar system along with it, then what do we see the Earth doing
in one year ? 
We mark the place where the Earth is at the stroke of midnight
on New Year's Eve.  Then we watch it as it swings around through
this gigantic orbit, all the way around the sun, and in a year, it's back
to the same point that we marked ! 

So what's the magnitude of the displacement in exactly one year ?
It's the distance between the start-point and the end-point.  But the
Earth came back to the same place it started from, so there's no
separation at all between the start-point and the end-point. 
The Earth covered a huge distance in that year, but the displacement
is zero.
