State the average value of acceleration due to gravity

Physics
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]4 years ago
8 0
The acceleration due to gravity varies in different positions on Earth. However it is said to be negligible and 9.8 m/s is used. Sometimes people use 10 m/s or 9.81 m/s

You are accelerating upwards in an elevator when the net force on you increases. What happens to the acceleration
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

the acceleration of the elevator is increasing

Explanation:

For this exercise we propose the solution using Newton's second law

         F -W = m a

         F = m (g + a)

If the net force increases, it implies that the acceleration of the elevator is increasing, since the acceleration of gravity is constant as the ascent is accelerating.

Cora, an electrician, wraps a copper wire with a thick plastic coating. What is she most likely trying to do?
alukav5142 [94]
The correct answer among the choices given is the last option. Cora wrapping the copper wire with a thick plastic coating keeps a current from passing out a wire. The plastic wire here serves as an insulator. An insulator is a material that prevents electricity or current to flow out the circuit. In order to lessen the loss of energy.

The Great Sandini is a 60 kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). You don't find many men of his
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

Mass, m=60 kg

Force constant, k=1300N/m

Restoring force, Fx=6500 N

Average friction force, f=50 N

Length of barrel, l=5m

y=2.5 m

Initial velocity, u=0

F_x=kx

Substitute the values

6500=1300x

x=\frac{6500}{1300}=5m

Work done due to friction force

W_f=fscos\theta

We have \theta=180^{\circ}

Substitute the values

W_f=50\times 5cos180^{\circ}

W_f=-250J

Initial kinetic energy, Ki=0

Initial gravitational energy, U_{grav,1}=0\

Initial elastic potential energy

U_{el,1}=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(1300)(5^2)

U_{el,1}=16250J

Final elastic energy,U_{el,2}=0

Final kinetic energy, K_f=\frac{1}{2}(60)v^2=30v^2

Final gravitational energy, U_{grav,2}=mgh=60\times 9.8\times 2.5

Final gravitational energy, U_{grav,2}=1470J

Using work-energy theorem

K_i+U_{grav,1}+U_{el,1}+W_f=K_f+U_{grav,2}+U_{el,2}

Substitute the values

0+0+16250-250=30v^2+1470+0

16000-1470=30v^2

14530=30v^2

v^2=\frac{14530}{30}

v=\sqrt{\frac{14530}{30}}

v=22m/s

If you start skating down this hill, your potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the hill, your
baherus [9]
Your potential energy at the top of the hill was (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

Your kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill is (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² .

If there was no loss of energy on the way down, then your kinetic energy
at the bottom will be equal to your potential energy at the top.

(1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Divide each side by 'mass' :

(1/2) x (speed)² = (gravity) x (height) . . . The answer we get
will be the same for every skater, fat or skinny, heavy or light.
The skater's mass doesn't appear in the equation any more.

Multiply each side by 2 :

(speed)² = 2 x (gravity) x (height)

Take the square root of each side:

<u>Speed at the bottom = square root of(2 x gravity x height of the hill)</u>

We could go one step further, since we know the acceleration of gravity on Earth:

Speed at the bottom = 4.43 x square root of (height of the hill)

This is interesting, because it says that a hill twice as high won't give you
twice the speed at the bottom.  The final speed is only proportional to the
<em>square root </em>of the height, so in order to double your speed, you need to
find a hill that's <em>4 times</em> as high.

Object A moves with a constant velocity of -10 m/s and object B moves with a constant velocity of 5 m/s. Which object has the la
KonstantinChe [14]
Object A has the larger speed because speed is not a vector quantity, it is scalar. This means that directionality, or in this case the sign of the velocity, doesn’t matter.
Speed = |velocity|
Object a speed =|-10|=10 m/s
Object b speed =|5|=5 m/s

Object a is the answer.
