Calculate the total mechanical energy of a 2 kg duck flying at 5 m/s, at a height of 10 meters above the ground.

Physics

dolphi86 [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Total mechanical energy = 225 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of duck (m) = 2 kg

Speed of duck (v)= 5 m/s

Height of duck from ground (h) = 10 m

Gravitation acceleration (g) = 10 m/s²

Find:

Total mechanical energy

Computation:

Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

Total mechanical energy = (1/2)mv² + mgh

Total mechanical energy = (1/2)(2)(5)² + (2)(10)(10)

Total mechanical energy = 25 + 200

Total mechanical energy = 225 J

The ball was kicked in the air and it iss about to hit the . if horizonta componenet of its final velocity is 10m/s and vertical
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the final velocity is 14.14 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of the final velocity and vertical component of the final velocity, forms a perpendicular vector. To determine the magnitude of the final velocity, we sum the two vectors.

To add two perpendicular vector, Pythagoras principle is used.

V^2 = V_x^2 +V_y^2\\\\V = \sqrt{V_x^2 +V_y^2}\\\\V =  \sqrt{(10)^2 +(-10)^2} =14.14 m/s

The magnitude of the final velocity is 14.14 m/s

5. A 6.0-kilogram mass is moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the mass?
Ann [662]

Answer:

K.E. = ½ × mv²

= ½ × 6 × (2)²

= ½ × 6 × 4

= 3 × 4

= 12 J

Why do all objects hit with the same velocity (ignoring air resistance) if dropped from the same height?
dlinn [17]

the answer to this question  is A because If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. ... In air, a feather and a ball do not fall at the same rate.

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!
