A ball of mass 0.152 kg is dropped from a height 2.27 m above the ground. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Neglecting
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

8.44 m/s.

Explanation:

Change in Potential Energy = Mass x Acceleration From Gravity x H2 - H1

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) x [(v2)^2 - v1^2]

g * h = 1/2 * v^2

(9.8) x (2.27) = 1/2 * (v)^2

v^2 = 2[(9.8) x (2.27)]

v = 6.67 m/s

g * delta h = 1/2 * delta v^2

(9.8) x (2.27 - 0.903) = 1/2 * [(v2)^2 - (6.67)^2]

v2^2 = 71.2821

v2 = 8.44 m/s

What linear speed must an earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 159 km?
IgorLugansk [536]
Gravitational acceleration, g = GM/r^2. Additionally, for a satellite in a circular orbit, g = v^2/r

Where, G = Gravitational constant, M = Mass of earth, r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite, v = linear speed of the satellite.

Equating the two expressions;
v^2/r = GM/r^2
v = Sqrt (GM/r);
But GM = Constant = 398600.5 km^3/sec^2
r = Altitude+Radius of the earth = 159+6371 = 6530 km

Substituting;
v = Sqrt (398600.5/6530) = 7.81 km/sec = 781 m/s

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac
dusya [7]

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

I_i = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

Science is made up of two things, what is it
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Natural science is concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural phenomena based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. It can be divided into two main branches: life science (or biological science) and physical science.
