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

A quarterback back pedals 3.3 meters southward and then runs 5.7 meters northward. For this motion, what is the distance moved?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The distance moved is 9 meters

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

Explanation:

- <em><u>Distance</u></em> is the length of the actual path between the initial and the

  final position. Distance is a scalar quantity

- <u><em>Displacement</em></u> is the change in position, measuring from its starting

  position to the final position. Displacement is a vector quantity

The quarterback pedals 3.3 meters southward

That means it moves down 3.3 meters

Then runs 5.7 meters northward

That means it runs up 5.7 meters

The distance = 3.3 + 5.7 = 9 meters

<em></em>

<em>The distance moved is 9 meters</em>

It moves southward (down) for 3.3 meters and then moves northward

(up) for 5.7

It moves from zero to 3.3 down and then moves up to 5.7

The displacement = 5.7 - 3.3 = 2.4 meters northward

<em />

<em>The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters</em>

<em>The direction of the displacement is northward</em>

Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. 
So the answer is A. evaporation.
