Answer:

The size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wrecking ball, m = 1500 kg

speed of the wrecking ball, v = 3.5 m/s

distance the ball moved the wall, d = 75 cm = 0.75 m

Apply the principle of work-energy theorem;

Kinetic energy of the wrecking ball = work done by the ball on the wall

¹/₂mv² = F x d

where;

F is the size of the force that pushes the wall

¹/₂mv² = F x d

¹/₂ x 1500 x 3.5² = F x 0.75

9187.5 = 0.75F

F = 9187.5 / 0.75

F = 12,250 N

Therefore, the size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

Would the solar panel work under a fluorescent or halogen light? explain your response being sure to relate your observations to
eduard

I think that the solar panel would work under a fluorescent or halogen light if the photons are being produced. These types of lights mimic sunlight so it would not work as good as the real thing but it could work. Just not be as powerful.

A train travels 55 km south along a straight track in 34 minutes. What is the train's average velocity in kilometers per hour?​
AURORKA [14]
Hopefully I’m not late and I apologize if I am, but the answer to your question would be 95.6 km/hr. You know you can look up your question as well to see if they already have a answer to that so you won’t waste your points.

If you are anchored in a fixed spot, and a set of six waves pass underneath you during a 60 second time interval, what is the wa
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Six waves passes by under 60second interval

Since it has 6 waves,

Then, it correspond to 3 wavelength

Then,

The period of each Each wavelength is 60 / 3

Then,  period = 20seconds

From the relationship between frequency and period

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 20

f = 0.05 Hz
