A ball of mass of 0.5kg is dropped from a height of 2m.

Physics

Answer:

6.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 0.5kg

Height  = 2m

Unknown:

Velocity when the ball hits the ground  = ?

Solution:

Since the potential  energy is transformed into kinetic energy;

            P.E  = K.E

              mgh  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

     cancelling m;

               gh  =  \frac{1}{2} v²

                v² = 2gh

                v  = √2gh

Insert the parameters and solve;

               v  = √2gh  = √ 2 x 9.8 x 2  = 6.3m/s

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. what maximum height does she
Mumz [18]
<span>Her center of mass will rise 3.7 meters. First, let's calculate how long it takes to reach the peak. Just divide by the local gravitational acceleration, so 8.5 m / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.867346939 s And the distance a object under constant acceleration travels is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substituting known values, gives d = 0.5 9.8 m/s^2 (0.867346939 s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 0.752290712 s^2 d = 3.68622449 m Rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.7 meters. Note, that 3.7 meters is how much higher her center of mass will rise after leaving the trampoline. It does not specify how far above the trampoline the lowest part of her body will reach. For instance, she could be in an upright position upon leaving the trampoline with her feet about 1 meter below her center of mass. And during the accent, she could tuck, roll, or otherwise change her orientation so she's horizontal at her peak altitude and the lowest part of her body being a decimeter or so below her center of mass. So it would look like she jumped almost a meter higher than 3.7 meters.</span>

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.
