Answer:

Kinetic energy and potential energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v^2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared. Kinetic energy is usually measured in units of Joules (J); one Joule is equal to 1 kg m^2 / s^2.

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force, the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters. Notice that gravitational potential energy has the same units as kinetic energy, kg m^2/s^2. In fact, all energy has the same units, kg m^2/s^2, and is measured using the unit Joule (J).

Work is also measured with the unit Joule (J).

What is the power output of a pump which can raise 60kg of water height to height of 10m every minute

sattari [20]

Answer:

<h3>Power = Work Done/time</h3>

=> Power = 60×10×10/60

=> Power = 6000/60

=> Power = 100 Watt

Hence the power output of a pump is 100 Watts.

A monkey running through the jungle goes 0.198 km straight to the East, then turns 15.8° deflection from straight East toward th

inn [45]

Answer:

$|\vec r|=339.82\ m$

$\theta=-6.67^o$

Explanation:

<u>Displacement </u>

It's a vector magnitude that measures the space traveled by a particle between an initial and a final position. The total displacement can be obtained by adding the vectors of each individual displacement. In the case of two displacements:

$\vec r=\vec r_1+\vec r_2$

Given a vector as its polar coordinates (r,\theta), the corresponding rectangular coordinates are computed with

$x=rcos\theta$

$y=rsin\theta$

And the vector is expressed as

$\vec z==$

The monkey first makes a displacement given by (0.198 km,0°). The angle is 0 because it goes to the East, the zero-reference for angles. Thus the first displacement is

$\vec r_1==\ km=\ m$

The second move is (145 m , -15.8°). The angle is negative because it points South of East. The second displacement is

$\vec r_2==\ m$

The total displacement is

$\vec r=\ m+\ m$

$\vec r=\ m$

In (magnitude,angle) form:

$|\vec r|=\sqrt{337.52^2+(-39.48)^2}=339.82\ m$

$\boxed{|\vec r|=339.82\ m}$

$\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{-39.48}{337.52}=-0.1169$

$\boxed{\theta=-6.67^o}$

A carriage of 20 kg is pulled with a force of 35 N. How far the carriage will go

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

2.71 m

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration

F=m*a

Work done is the product of force and distance

Work done=F*d

In this case;

F= 35 N

Work done = 95 J

95 =35 * d

95 /35 = d

2.71 m= d
