A fruit bat falls from the roof of a cave. We know that her potential energy was

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

v = 15.65 m/s

Explanation:

We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:

Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf

At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.

Pi = m g h = 600 J

and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)

Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:

m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg

Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:

Pf + KEf = 600 J

with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)

KEf= 1/2 4.9 (v^2)

and we solve for the velocity:

600 J = 0 + 1/2 4.9 (v^2)

v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9

v = 15.65 m/s

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d

Mice21 [21]

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is $r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m$ , so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

$r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e = 2.29 \cdot 10^7 m$

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

$g= \frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2$

Describe the three major layers of the earth including temperature thickness of chemical composition

Elena L [17]

The three main layers are the core, the mantle, and the crust. The core is divided into two parts, the liquid outer core, and the solid inner core. Together it is 3450 km thick. The mantle is 2100 km thick, and the crust is 35-70 km thick. Hope I helped!

The momentum of a falling rock is found to be 200 kg m/s. What is the mass of the rock if it falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}$

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

$p=m*v$

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s$

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}$
