A projectile is fired straight upward at 173 m/s. how fast is it moving at the instant it reaches the top of its trajectory?

1 answer:

8 0

The top of the trajectory is the point where it changes from rising to falling. At that exact instant, its vertical speed is zero.

Two friends of different masses are on the playground. They are playing on the seesaw and are able to balance it even though the

Westkost [7]

Answer:

They are able to balance torques due to gravity.

$F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2$

Explanation:

When two friends of different masses will balance themselves on see saw then at equilibrium position the see saw will remain horizontal

This condition will be torque equilibrium position where the see saw will not rotate

Here we can say

$F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2$

here we know that force is due to weight of two friends

and their positions are different with respect to the lever about which see saw is rotating

since both friends are of different weight so they will balance themselves are different positions as per above equation

Velocity of an object of mass 5 kg increases from 3 m/s to 7 m/s on applying a force continuously for 2 s. Find out the force ap

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Force=10N

Velocity=13m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass = 5kg

initial velocity=3m/s

Final velocity=7m/s

Time=2s

Now acceleration= v-u/t

=7-3/2

=4/2

=2m/s²

So, acceleration=2m/s²

Now,

F=ma

=5*2

=10N

What happens to the temperature and thermal energy of water when it is heated in a pot on the stove?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Both its temperature and its thermal energy will increase.

Explanation:

Objects are made up of particles. For example, water is made up of water molecules. The kinetic energy of a particle of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ ,

The thermal energy of an object measures the total kinetic energy of all its particles.
On the other hand, the temperature of that object measures the average kinetic energy of all these particles.

Water in that pot gains energy when the pot is heated. That would increase the total kinetic energy of these water molecules.

What about temperature? Assume that the number of water particles in the pot stays the same- In other words, assume that water in the pot does not evaporate. As the total kinetic energy of these water molecules increase, their average kinetic energy would also increase. As a result, it would appear that the temperature of water in that pot has increased.

A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th

ankoles [38]

<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 3 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
