Answer:
3141N or 3.1 ×10³N to 2 significant figures. The can experiences this inward force on its outer surface.
Explanation:
The atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the can. In order to calculate this inward force we need to know the total surface area of the can available to the air outside the can. Since the can is a cylinder with a total surface area given by 2πrh + 2πr² =
A = 2πr(r + h)
Where h = height of the can = 12cm
r = radius of the can = 6.5cm/2 = 3.25cm
r = diameter /2
A = 2π×3.25 ×(3.25 + 12) = 311.4cm² = 311.4 ×10-⁴ = 0.031m²
Atmospheric pressure, P = 101325Pa = 101325 N/m²
F = P × A
F = 101325 ×0.031.
F = 3141N. Or 3.1 ×10³ N.
Answer:
Object appears to move forward at 1 cm/sec, then the velocity drops to zero for 3 sec and then moves forward at 2 cm/sec (11 - 3) / (10 - 6) = 2 cm/sec
It's gravitational potential energy at the top will roughly equal it's kinetic energy when it was released (a little is lost to air resistance). Note this will assume the release point is zero potential energy. (we are free to define it that way, just letting you know). Gravitational potential energy is mgh.
mgh=25J
h=25J/(0.5kg x 9.81m/s^2) = 5.097m
So it goes about 5.1 meters above the point where it was released
Answer:
<em>v = 15,267 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Kinetic Energy
</u>
Is the type of energy of an object due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.
The formula to calculate the kinetic energy is:

Where:
m = mass
v = speed
The kinetic energy is often expressed in Joules (J)
We are given the mass of a fly m=0.638 g and we need to calculate its speed in order to have a kinetic energy of 74354.5 J.
Converting:
m=0.638 g /1000 = 0.000638 kg
To find the speed, we solve the formula for v:


Substituting:

v = 15,267 m/s
(The fly should move faster than a rocket)
