Answer: final Velocity v = 10.2m/s
Explanation:
Final speed v(t) is given as
v(t) = u + at .......1
Where; u = the initial speed
a = acceleration
t = time taken
The total distance travelled d is given as
d = ut + 1/2(at^2)
Given
d = 5.0m
u = 2.0m
a = g = 10m/s2 (acceleration due to gravity)
Substituting into the equation above we have
5 = 2t + 5t^2
5t^2 +2t -5 = 0
Applying the quadratic formula. We have;
t = 0.82s & t = -1.22s
t cannot be negative
t = 0.82s
From equation 1 above
v = 2.0m/s + 10(0.82)m/s
v = 10.2m/s
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:
Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.
(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:
(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation
v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:
v=√(2*g*h)
v=99.04 m/s
So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.
Answer:
D. If a home were wired in series, every light and appliance would have to be turned on in order for any light or appliance to work.
Explanation:
In a series circuit, all the appliances are connected on the same branch of the circuit, one after the other. This means that the current flowing throught them is the same. However, this means also that if one of the appliance is turned off (so, its switch is open), that appliance breaks the circuit, so the current can no longer flow through the other appliances either.
On the contrary, when the appliances are connected in parallel, they are connected in different branches, so if one of them is switched off, the other branches continue working unaffacted by it.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 
and the kinetic energy is 
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is , but the kinetic energy is reduced to 
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
I'm pretty sure the answer to this question is "newton's first law of motion" or d. Hope this helps. :)
