Observations of galaxies and clusters of galaxies indicate that about ____ percent of the matter in the universe is dark matter.
Setler79 [48]

All the stars, spheres and galaxies that can be perceived nowadays make up just 5 percent of the universe. The former 95 percent is prepared of stuff stargazers can't see, notice or even understand. These secretive substances are called dark energy and dark matter. Experts determine their presence grounded on their gravitational influence on what little bits of the universe can be perceived.

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?
garri49 [273]
<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

White raven [17]

Answer:

(a) -472.305  J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2}

Initial kinetic energy is 0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305  J=-472.305  J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a} but a=\mu g hence

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m
