Answer:
Vf = 3.67 [m/s]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.
where:
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 4.3 [m/s]
a = acceleration or desacceleration = 0.5 [m/s²]
x = distance = 5 [m]
Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velocity of the ball is decreasing (desacceleration).
Now replacing:
Vf² = (4.3)² - (2*0.5*5)
Vf² = 18.49 - 5
Vf² = 13.49
using the square root, we have.
Vf = 3.67 [m/s]
When you ask for "joules per second", you're asking for "watts".
The rate of energy "transfer" is 'power'. In this case, the light bulb
transfers energy out of the electrical circuit and into the space
around it, in the form of light and heat radiation.
Electrical power = (voltage) x (current) =
(6 volts) x (0.5 ampere) =
3 watts = 3 joules per second.
But rocks are not unchangeable! Just like the water cycle, rocks undergo changes of form in a rock cycle. A metamorphic rock can become an igneous rock, or a sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic one. Unlike the water cycle, you can’t see the process happening on a day-to-day basis. Rocks change very slowly under normal conditions, but sometimes catastrophic events like a volcanic eruption or a flood can speed up the process. So what are the three types of rocks, and how do they change into each other? Keep reading to find out!
