Answer:

Duck's kinetic energy is 64.8 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the duck, m = 0.9 kg

Velocity of the duck is, v = 12 m/s

We have to find the velocity of the duck. It is given due to the motion of an object. Mathematically, it is written as :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.9\ kg\times (12\ m/s)^2$

KE = 64.8 Joules

Hence, the kinetic energy of the duck is 64.8 Joules

It should be at about 65J. Not sure, hope I helped.

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called

vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.

A 1.1 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 2.16 m long string. The height of the room is 5.97 m . The acceleration of gravity i

nydimaria [60]

1. -23.2 J

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m = 1.1 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the ball, relative to the reference point chosen

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the ceiling. So, the ball is located 2.16 m below the ceiling: therefore, the heigth is

h = -2.16 m

And the gravitational potential energy is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(-2.16 m)=-23.2 J$

2. 41.1 J

Again, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the floor.

The height of the ball relative to the floor is equal to the height of the floor minus the length of the string:

h = 5.97 m - 2.16 m = 3.81 m

And so the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative to the floor is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(3.81 m)=41.1 J$

3. 0 J

As before, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

Here the reference point is a point at the same elevation of the ball.

This means that the heigth of the ball relative to that point is zero:

h = 0 m

And so the gravitational potential energy is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0 m)=0 J$
