Ivenika [448]3 years ago

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

A cannonball is launched from the ground at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal and a speed of 30 m/s. Ideally (no air r
marusya05 [52]

As we know that here no air resistance while ball is moving in air

So here we will say that

initial total energy = final total energy

KE_i + U_i = KE_f + U_f

here we know that

Ui = U_f = 0 (as it will be on ground at initial and final position)

so we will say

KE_i = KE_f

since mass is always conserved

so we will say that final speed of the ball must be equal to the initial speed of the ball

so we have

v_f = v_i = 30 m/s

What what is the change in internal energy if 500 joule of heat is added to a system and 125 joule of work are done on a system
eduard

Answer:

DU = 375 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 500 Joules

Work done = 125 Joules

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

  • DU is the change in internal energy.
  • Q is the quantity of energy.
  • W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 500 - 125

<em>DU = 375 Joules</em>

How much charge can be placed on a capacitor with air between the plates before it breaks down if the area of each plate is 4.00
klio [65]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the separation of plate be equal to d and the area of plates is 9 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}. As the capacitance of capacitor is given as follows.

            C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{d}

It is known that the dielectric strength of air is as follows.

               E = 3 \times 10^{6} V/m

Expression for maximum potential difference is that the capacitor can with stand is as follows.

                       dV = E × d

And, maximum charge that can be placed on the capacitor is as follows.

               Q = CV

                   = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A}{d} \times E \times d

                   = \epsilon_{o}AE

                   = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^{6} \times 4 \times 10^{-4}

                   = 1.062 \times 10^{-8} C

or,                = 10.62 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on capacitor is 10.62 nC.
