To calculate Work we need Force and Distance or Total Change in Energy and Heat.

To calculate Power we need Current and Voltage or Voltage and Resistance.

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr
Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration a=g=9.8 m/s^2 directed downward, initial vertical position d=750 m, and initial vertical velocity v_0 = 0. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad

substituting, we find

v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting v_f with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m

A racehorse is running with a uniform speed of 69 km/hr along a straightaway. what is the time it takes for the horse to cover 4
Alex
Hello there,
400 meters= 0.4 km
Time= Distance / speed
        = 0.4 / 69
        = 0.0057971014492754 hr
        = 0.35 min

Hope this helps :))

Un ladrillo se le imparte una velocidad inicial de 6m/s en su trayectoria hacia abajo. ¿cual sera su velocidad final despues de
marshall27 [118]
Saludos!

Respuesta:

28,64 m/s.

Explicación:

Datos: 

Altura o distancia recorrida: 40 m
Vo: 6 m/s 
Aceleración de la gravedad: 9,81 m/s²

El ejercicio puede ser resuelto facilmente utilizando la siguiente formula, sin embargo es posible realizarlo utilizando formulas diferentes. 

Entonces tenemos que:

Vf ^{2} -Vo ^{2} =2 x g x h

Es importante saber que al estar lanzando el ladrillo hacia abajo, el sentido del movimiento sigue el sentido de la gravedad, es decir es necesario que tomes el valor de la gravedad como positivo (+) y no negativo (-) como normalmente se usa.

Sustituyendo tenemos que:

Vf x^{2} =(6 m/s) ^{2} +(2)x(9,81 m/s ^{2})x(40m) \\ Vf ^{2} =820,8 m^{2} /s ^{2}  \\  \sqrt{Vf ^{2} } = \sqrt{820,8m^{2}/s ^{2}  }  \\ Vf=28,64 m/s

Que tengas un buen día!
