Answer:

Vf = 69.61 m/s

Explanation:

We will use the third equation of motion to solve this problem:

2gh = V_{f}^2 - V_{i}^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height of cliff = 247 m

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s (boulder breaks loose from rest)

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)(247\ m) = V_{f}^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\V_{f} = \sqrt{4846.14\ m^2/s^2}\\

<u>Vf = 69.61 m/s</u>

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
QveST [7]

Answer:

(c) position

Explanation:

From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.

But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e

W = F x d

This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.

Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).

Which of the following statements are true? Positively charged objects attract other positively charged objects. Negatively char
butalik [34]
The statement that is true is that positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects. This is due to a law that states 'like forces attract while unlike forces repel. This same concept applies to magnetism. If you put two similar poles together, for example; if you place two south poles together. You feel a separating force between the two poles. But if you place two opposite poles together they attract each other. Hope i helped. <span />

A sound wave was determined to have a frequency of 0.3 Hz, speed of 150 cm/s, and amplitude of 2 cm. Find its wavelength.
fredd [130]

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf....................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength of the sound wave, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f..................... Equation 2

Given: v = 150 cm/s = 1.5 m/s, f = 0.3 hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 1.5/0.3

λ = 5 m.

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N
