  • initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=25m/s
  • Time=t=30s

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25-0}{30}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25}{30}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=0.8m/s^2

A brick of mass 5 kg is released from rest at a height of 3 m. How fast is it going when it hits the ground? Acceleration due to
sineoko [7]

Taking into account the definition of kinetic, potencial and mechanical energy, when the brick hits the ground, it has a speed of 7,668 m/s.

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass and at rest, until it reaches a given speed. Once this point is reached, the amount of accumulated kinetic energy will remain the same unless there is a change in speed or the body returns to its state of rest by applying a force.

The kinetic energy is represented by the following expression:

Ec= ½ mv²

Where:

  • Ec is the kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J).
  • m is the mass measured in kilograms (kg).
  • v is the speed measured in meters over seconds (m/s).

<h3>Potential energy</h3>

On the other hand, potential energy is the energy that measures the ability of a system to perform work based on its position. In other words, this is the energy that a body has at a certain height above the ground.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the gravitational force. This will depend on the relative height of an object to some reference point, the mass, and the force of gravity.

So for an object with mass m, at height h, the expression applied to the gravitational energy of the object is:

Ep= m×g×h

Where:

  • Ep is the potential energy in joules (J).
  • m is the mass in kilograms (kg).
  • h is the height in meters (m).
  • g is the acceleration of fall in m/s².
<h3>Mechanical energy</h3>

Finally, mechanical energy is that which a body or a system obtains as a result of the speed of its movement or its specific position, and which is capable of producing mechanical work. Then:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

<h3>Principle of conservation of mechanical energy </h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy indicates that the mechanical energy of a body remains constant when all the forces acting on it are conservative (a force is conservative when the work it does on a body depends only on the initial and final points and not the path taken to get from one to the other.)

Therefore, if the potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy will increase. In the same way, if the kinetics decreases, the potential energy will increase.

<h3>This case</h3>

A brick of mass 5 kg is released from rest at a height of 3 m. Then, at this height, the brick of mass has no speed, so the kinetic energy has a value of zero because it depends on the speed or moving bodies. But the potential energy is calculated as:

Ep= 5 kg× 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }× 3 m

Solving:

<u><em>Ep= 147 J</em></u>

So, the mechanical energy is calculated as:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

147 J +  0 J= total mechanical energy

147 J= total mechanical energy

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy  can be applied in this case. Then, when the brick hits the ground, the mechanical energy is 147 J. In this case, considering that the height is 0 m, the potential energy is zero because this energy depends on the relative height of the object. But the object has speed, so it will have kinetic energy. Then:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

0 J +  kinetic energy= 147 J

kinetic energy= 147 J

Considering the definition of kinetic energy:

½  5 kg×v²= 147 J

v=\sqrt{\frac{2x147 J}{5 kg} }

v=7.668 m/s

Finally, when the brick hits the ground, it has a speed of 7,668 m/s.

A 3.00 kg object is moving in the XY plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t³ !1 and y = 3t ² + 2, where x and y are
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The net force acting on this object is 180.89 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3.00 kg

Coordinate of position of x= 5t^3+1

Coordinate of position of y=3t^2+2

Time = 2.00 s

We need to calculate the acceleration

a = \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}

For x coordinates

x=5t^3+1

On differentiate w.r.to t

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=15t^2+0

On differentiate again w.r.to t

\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}=30t

The acceleration in x axis at 2 sec

a = 60i

For y coordinates

y=3t^2+2

On differentiate w.r.to t

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=6t+0

On differentiate again w.r.to t

\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=6

The acceleration in y axis at 2 sec

a = 6j

The acceleration is

a=60i+6j

We need to calculate the net force

F = ma

F = 3.00\times(60i+6j)

F=180i+18j

The magnitude of the force

|F|=\sqrt{(180)^2+(18)^2}

|F|=180.89\ N

Hence, The net force acting on this object is 180.89 N.

How long does it take to change a flat plain into mountains?
ss7ja [257]
It would take millions of years to form a mountain as plates move very slowly and to form it first one plate should climb upon another. After this very slowly this hill will convert into a mountain.
