Hello!

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = 480 J
m (mass) = ? (in Kg)
v (speed) = 8 m/s

<span>Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

</span> $KE = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^2$
<span>
Solving:

</span> $KE = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

$480 = \frac{1}{2} *m*8^2$

$480 = \frac{1}{2} *m*64$

$480*2 = 64*m$

$960 = 64m$

$64m = 960$

$m = \frac{960}{64}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m = 15\:Kg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

KE=1/2*m*v^2
So 480=1/2 * m * 8^2
480=1/2 * m * 64
480=32 * m
480/32=m
15=m

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0$

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

$v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt$

Solving for t=1:

1) $v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}$

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) $E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0$

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) $E=mgh$

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) $h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0$

Combining equation 1 and 4:

$h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0$

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0500Ω and is supplied by a 12.0-V battery with a 0.0100-Ω internal

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer

given,

resistance = 0.05 Ω

internal resistance of battery = 0.01 Ω

electromotive force = 12 V

a) ohm's law

V = IR

and volage

$V = \epsilon - Ir$

now,

$IR = \epsilon - Ir$

$I(R+r) = \epsilon$

$I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}$

inserting the values

$I= \dfrac{12}{0.05+0.01}$

I = 200 A

b) Voltage

V = I R

V = 200 x 0.05

V = 10 V

c) Power

P = I V

P = 200 x 10 = 2000 W

d) total resistance = 0.05 + 0.09 = 0.14 Ω

$I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}$

$I= \dfrac{12}{0.14+0.01}$

I = 80 A

V = 80 x 0.05 = 4 V

P = 4 x 80 = 320 W

Suppose a straight wire with a length of 2.0 m runs perpendicular to a magnetic field with a magnitude of 38 T. What current wou

iragen [17]

Answer:

9.67 A

Explanation:

The weight of a student with a mass of m = 75 kg is:

$W=mg=(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=735 N$

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

We want the magnetic force on the wire to be equal to this weight. The magnetic force on the wire is

$F=ILB sin \theta$

where

I is the current in the wire

L = 2.0 m is the length of the wire

B = 38 T is the magnetic field

$\theta=90^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of B and L

Since we want W=F, we can write

$ILB sin \theta=W$

And we can solve it to find the current I:

$I=\frac{W}{BLsin\theta}=\frac{735 N}{(38 T)(2.0 m)(sin 90^{\circ})}=9.67 A$
