An object moving with constant velocity
Answer:
The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²
Explanation:
Given data,
The distance the object falls, s = 144 m
The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s
Using the III equations of motion
S = ut + ½ gt²
∴ g = 2S/t²
Substituting the given values,
g = 2 x 144 /6²
= 8 m/s²
Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²
The answer is C.
The Kinetic energy which was exerted and experience pulling the string of a bow is kept as a potential energy at the end of the arrow in contact with the string. Once release from aim at stationary position the potential energy is again transformed.
The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.
Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.
Power = Work / time
or
P = W / t
