Its total mechanical energy is <em>2,000 J</em>.

We don't have enough information to say anything about its heat energy, its chemical energy, or the energy due to any electrical charge it may be carrying or any magnetic field it may have.

A brick is dropped from a high scaffold. a. What is its velocity after 4.0s ?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A: 1.962

B: 3.924

Explanation:

g = G *M /R^2

g = 9.807*M/R^2 the gravitational constant of ground level on earth is about 9.807

g = 9.807*5lbs/R^2 the average brick is about 5 pounds.

g = 9.807*5*10^2.   I'm assuming the height is around ten feet to help you out.

with these numbers plugged in you get an acceleration of 0.4905 a final velocity after 4 seconds 1.962. It's height fallen after 4 seconds is 3.924.

( M = whatever the brick weighs it's not specified in the question)

(R = the distance from the ground or how high the scaffold is)

(hopefully you can just plug your numbers in there hope this helps)

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th
Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

E_i = E_f

0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}

v_f = 1.8486m/s

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

Yuri [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

            U_{a} = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J

        W_{/text{a to b}} = -1.9 \times 10^{-8} J

        Electric potential energy (U_{b}) = ?

Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.

            U_{b} = U_{a} - W_{/text{a to b}}

                        = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J - (-1.9 \times 10^{-8} J)

                        = 7.3 \times 10^{-8} J

Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is 7.3 \times 10^{-8} J.
