Just before it strikes the ground, what is the watermelon's kinetic energy?

Physics

anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Answer: At its lowest point, the kinetic energy of a watermelon just as it touches the ground is zero if it does not touch anything on its way down.

Explanation:

This is because that upon having been dropped from a height, an object no longer has any kinetic energy at all. Kinetic energy transforms to gravitational potential energy during the fall and there's nothing left over for kinetic once you stop accelerating anymore. Fortunately, things don't stay still until they land very often! For example, if a person catches the fruit with his hands after some air resistance slows him down - making him more similar in speed to the lag of the trajectory - then he'll be able to share some of his saved up gravitational potential with that watermelon and do some

Three 10-cm-long rods form an equilateral triangle. Two of the rods are charged to + 19 nC, the third to - 19 nC.What is the ele
Sveta_85 [38]
<span>We calculate the electric field as follows:
r = </span>√<span>(3)/6 x 19 cm = .05484 m 
The angle for the triangle would be 30 on each side.
tan(30) = r/(L/2) 

E' = kQ/{r*sqrt[(L/2)^2 + r^2]} = (8.99e9 x 15e-9) / {.05484 * sqrt[(.19/2)^2 + .003]}
</span>E' <span>= 22413 N/C
The value above is the electric field strength for a single rod at the center. 

|E'| = 22413 N/C 
E = 2|E'|sin(30) + |E'| = 49000 N/C</span>

ddd [48]
<span>So we wan't to know what happens during nuclear fusion where we have 12 atoms. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear process where 2 or more nuclei will form 1 or more different nuclei with a release of energy. So if we start with 12 atoms, the most likely result will be 6 atoms. </span>

use the general formulas for gravitational force and centripetal force to derive the relationship between speed and orbital radi
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation is defined as:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}  (1)                

Where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between them.

The centripetal force can be found by means of Newton's second law:

F = ma  (2)

Since it is a circular motion, the acceleration can be defined as:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}  (3)

Where v is the velocity and r is the orbital radius.

Replacing equation (3) in equation (2) it is gotten:

F = m\frac{v^{2}}{r}  (4)

Hence,

m\frac{v^{2}}{r} = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}

Then, v can be isolated:

mv^{2} = G\frac{Mmr}{r^{2}}

mv^{2} = G\frac{Mm}{r}

v^{2} = G\frac{Mm}{mr}

v^{2} = \frac{GM}{r}

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

So the relationship between speed and orbital radius is given by the expression v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}
