A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?

1 answer:

6 0

1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules

if gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 50kpa at 300k what will the pressure be if the tempature rises to 360k

Zarrin [17]

The pressure law states that pressure is directly proportional to temperature.
p=kt where p is pressure, k is a constant, and t is temperature.

p=kt -- substitute
50000=k*300000
k=1/6
p=1/6*360000
p=60000 -- in pa not kpa

The pressure is 60kpa

John dragged a wooden block across a table with 4 different surfaces and the results

AnnyKZ [126]

If the surface is rough then the average force needed to move the wooden block will be more as the friction between the surfaces will be more.

Hence, the least force will be required on the smoothest surface and the greatest force will be required for the roughest surface.

a) Hence, the order will be: B > D > A > C

b) When the surface is glued then the force of friction will increase. Hence, it will require more force to move the wooden block on the surface. Hence, the more required will be more than 105 N.

A source produces 20 crests and 20 troughs in 4 seconds. The second crest is 3 cm away from the first crest.Calculate :

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Solution given:

No of waves[N] =20crests & 20 troughs

=20waves

Time[T]=4seconds

distance[d]=3cm=0.03m

Now

Wave length=3cm=3 × ${10}^{ - 2}m$
