A 1 kg flashlight is dropped from rest and falls to the floor without air resistance . At the point during its fall, when it is

0.7 meters above the floor, its potential energy exactly equals its kinetic energy. How fast is the flashlight moving at this point, in m/s 3.7

Answer:

The speed of the flashlight at that point is 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

When an object of mass M is at a height H above the ground, the potential energy of the object is:

U = M*H*g

Where g is the gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2

And for an object with velocity v, the kinetic energy is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

We know that when the flashlight of mass  1kg is 0.7 meters above the ground, the potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy, then:

M = 1kg

H = 0.7m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Replacing these in the equations, we get:

U = K

(1kg)*(0.7m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = ((1kg)/2)*v^2

As the mass factor appears in both sides, we can remove it:

(0.7 m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = (v^2)/2

Now we can multiply both sides by 2:

2*(0.7 m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = v^2

Now let's apply the square root to both sides:

√(2*(0.7 m)*(9.8 m/s^2)) = v = 3.7 m/s

How can professional education improve life of people?<br>​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Professional education as a science has been defined as a field of educational science that studies the growth of a person into a profession and the related problems. It refers to organized education aimed at the knowledge and skills needed in the profession and working life, as well as growing into active citizenship and membership of society. Professional education as a discipline studies vocational training, skills and learning related to the profession and working life.  

It enables young people and adults to pursue goal-oriented learning with the aim of acquiring and developing the necessary skills in the profession and creating the conditions for independent professional activity and continuous development in the profession.

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface. One moves at 1 m/s and the other at 2 m/s. They co
mario62 [17]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

Explanation:

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.

Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s

Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s

They collide and stick.

We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.

Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=V(m_1+m_2)

We have, m₁ = m₂ = m

m\times 1+m\times 2=(m+m)V\\\\m+2m=2m\times V\\\\3m=2mV\\\\V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

So, the speed of the combined mass is \dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s.
