Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the kinetic energy of the mass. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Velocity (v) = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 10 × 20²

KE = 5 × 400

KE = 2000 J

Finally, we shall the height to which the mass must be located in order to have potential energy that is the same as the kinetic energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) = Kinetic energy (KE) = 2000 J

Height (h) =..?

PE = mgh

2000 = 10 × 10 × h

2000 = 100 × h

Divide both side by 100

h = 2000 / 100

h = 20 m

Thus, the object must be located at a height of 20 m in order to have potential energy that is the same as the kinetic energy.

A = F/m is an explanation of<br> in  Physics
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The equation a=F/m or the acceleration is equal to the net force of an object divided by that object's mass, is an equation derived and explained by Sir Issac Newton's second law of motion. Newton's second law of motion states that the force of an object is equal to the mass times the acceleration of that object.

A boy on a swing set has a speed of 4.5 m/s and a centripetal acceleration of 8.1 m/s2 at the bottom of his swing. How long are
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

R = 1.8 m

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic movement exercise, at the bottom of the swing the acceleration is vertical upwards and the speed is tangential to the trajectory, that is horizontal; the expression for the centralized acceleration is

              a_{c} = v² / R

              R = v² /a_{c}

where the radius is equal to the length of the swing

let's calculate

            R = 8.1 / 4.5

            R = 1.8 m

We can model the motion of a bumblebee's wing as simple harmonic motion. A bee beats its wings 250 times per second, and the win
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat = 250 /s

Speed = 2.5 m/s

We need to calculate the amplitude of the wing tip's motion

Using the equation for the maximum velocity

v_{max}=2\pi f A

A=\dfrac{v}{2\pi f}

Where,

v = speed

f = frequency

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

A=\dfrac{2.5}{2\pi\times250}

A=0.00159 = 1.59\times10^{-3}\ m

A=1.6\ mm

Hence, The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.
