M = 40 Kg , g=9.8 m/s² , h = 2 m

PE = m g h

PE = (40) (9.8) (2)

PE = 784 J

KE = PE

½m v² = m g h

½ v² = g h

½ v² = (9.8) (2)

½ v² = 19.6

v² = 19.6×2

v² = 39.2

V = √39.2

V = 6.26 m/s

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½(40) (6.26)²

KE =783.8 J

In the graph above, what is the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

D) 25 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final speed [m/s]

Vi = initial speed = 0

a = acceleration = 5[m/s^2]

t = time = 5[s]

After 5 seconds the acceleration is equal to 5 [m/s^2]

Now replacing the values in the equation:

Vf = 0 + (5*5)

Vf = 25[m/s]

What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?
liraira [26]
An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.

A mason is shot with a constant speed of 7.5 x 10²m/sinto a region, when an electric field produces acceleration on the mason of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson,  (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

 

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.
