Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

$W_b = m_bg = \\ \\ W_b = (0.730 \ kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N$

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

$m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s$

$m _w=0.64 \ kg$

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

$W_w = m_w g$

$W_w = ( 0.64 \ kg )(9.80\ m \ /s^2)$

$W_w = 6.272 \ N$

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}$

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

$F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )$

$F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)$

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

$F_{scale$ = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N

A 61.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 10.0-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance. She comes to rest

9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, law of conservation of energy will be implemented. It states that "the energy of the system remains conserved until or unless some external force act on it. Energy of the system may went through the conversion process like kinetic energy into potential and potential into kinetic energy.But their total always remain the same in conserved systems."

Given data:

Height of tower = 10.0 m

Depth of the pool = 3.00 cm

Mass of person = 61.0 kg

Solution:

Initial energy = Final energy

$U_{i} = (K.E) + U_{f}$
