A 2kg watermelon is dropped from a 4m tall roof a) use the appropriate kinematic equations to determine the instantaneous veloci

Ivenika [448]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8.85m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.

When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.

We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s

xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000

The drum of a washing machine spins at 200 rpm the drum had a radius of 0.5m what will the centripetal force experienced by a to
miskamm [114]

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The given parameters;

  • angular speed of the washing machine, ω = 200 rpm
  • radius of the machine' drum, r = 0.5 m
  • mass of the towel, m = 0.25 kg

The centripetal force experienced by the towel spinning along the walls of the drum is calculated as follows;

Fc = mrω²

where;

<em>Fc is the centripetal force</em>

<em>ω is angular speed in rad/s</em>

The angular speed in rad/s is calculate as;

\omega = \frac{200 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 20.95 \ rad/s

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is calculated as;

F_c = mr\omega ^2\\\\F_c = 0.25 \times 0.5 \times (20.95)^2\\\\F_c = 54.9 \ N \ \approx 55 \ N

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

HELP...<br> 3.00 amu = _____ Mev.<br><br> 3.22 x 10-3<br> 2.79 x 103<br> 3.10 x 102
DanielleElmas [232]
The correct answer is:
2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV
Let's see why.

1 amu corresponds to the mass of the proton, which is:
m_p = 1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg
if we convert this into energy, using Einstein equivalence between mass and energy, we find:
E=mc^2 = (1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.49 \cdot 10^{-10} J
Now we can convert it into electronvolts:
E= \frac{1.49 \cdot 10^{-10}kg}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV} =9.34 \cdot 10^9 eV = 934 MeV

So, 1 amu = 934 MeV. Therefore, 3 amu corresponds to 3 times this value:
3 amu = 3 \cdot 934 MeV  \sim 2790 MeV = 2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV
