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

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

the moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit kept by gravitational force exerted by the earth work done will be
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.
