A 2kg pumpkin is thrown with a velocity of 15m/s towards a

Physics

Lynna [10]2 years ago

The force exerted on the pumpkin by

the wall is 600N.

HOW TO CALCULATE FORCE:

  • The force exerted by the wall on the pumpkin can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the pumpkin by the acceleration.

  • However, the acceleration of the pumpkin needs to be calculated by the following expression:

  • a = (v - u)/t

Where;

  1. a = acceleration (m/s²)
  2. v = final velocity (15m/s)
  3. u = initial velocity (0m/s)
  4. t = time (0.05s)

  • a = (15 - 0)/0.05

  • a = 15/0.05

  • a = 300m/s²

  • F = 2kg × 300m/s²

  • F = 600N

  • Therefore, the force exerted on the pumpkin by the wall is 600N.

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and
vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.

A 2,000 kg car is parked at the top of a 30 m high hill. what is its potential energy?
Phoenix [80]
The PE for this question will be 588,000 because we take the mass (2,000 kg), multiply it by 9.8 which is Gravitational Acceleration and then multiply that by the height (30 meters)

When three identical bulbs of 60W,200V rating are connected in series at a 200V supply the power drawn by them will be?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]

Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.
