Answer:

1. 0.45 s.

2. 4.41 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 1 m

Time (t) =?

Velocity (v) =?

1. Determination of the time taken for the pencil to hit the floor.

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.8

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s.

Thus, it will take 0.45 s for the pencil to hit the floor.

2. Determination of the velocity with which the pencil hit the floor.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 0.45 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 0.45)

v = 0 + 4.41

v = 4.41 m/s

Thus, the pencil hit the floor with a velocity of 4.41 m/s

What does every magnet possess?
snow_lady [41]

All magnets possess a property called polarity--that is, a magnet's power of attraction is strongest at its opposite ends, usually called the north and south poles. The north and south poles attract each other, but north repels north and south repels south. All magnets attract iron.

The turntable in a microwave oven has a moment of inertia of 0.039 kg⋅m2 and is rotating once every 4.4 s . Part A What is its k
gayaneshka [121]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kinetic Energy, specifically, since it is a body with angular movement, the kinetic rotational energy. Recall that kinetic energy is defined as the work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to the indicated speed.

Mathematically it can be expressed as,

KE = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

Where

I = Moment of Inertia

\omega =Angular velocity

Our values are given as

I = 0.039kg\cdot m^2

A revolution is made every 4.4 seconds.

\theta = 1 rev \rightarrow 4.4s

\Rightarrow \omega = \frac{1rev}{4.4s}

If the angular velocity is equivalent to the displacement over the time it takes to perform it then

\omega = 0.2272rev/s(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})

\omega = 1.42rad/s

Replacing at our previous equation we have,

KE = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.039)(1.42)^2

KE = 0.03993J

Therefore the kinetic energy is equal to 3.9*10^{-2}J
