A toy car (0.50 kg) runs on a frictionless track and has an initial kinetic energy of 2.2 J, as the drawing shows. The numbers b

Answer:

Height will be equal to 0.4489 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

Initial kinetic energy K = 2.2 J

We have to fond the height of the hill over which car roast

When car will roast the hill its kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy and at maximum height all kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy

So at maximum height $mgh=K$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

So 0.50×9.8×h = 2.2

h = 0.4489 m

You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed v0. The acceleration due to gravity is g

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_o}{g}$

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is launched horizontally at a speed vo, it describes a curved called parabola as the speed in the x-direction does not change and the speed in the y-direction increases with time because the gravity makes it return to the ground.

The vertical distance the object (potato) travels downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

The horizontal distance is

$x=v_ot$

We need to find the time when both distances are equal, thus

$\displaystyle \frac{gt^2}{2}=v_ot$

Simplifying by t

$\displaystyle \frac{gt}{2}=v_o$

Solving for t

$\displaystyle \boxed{t=\frac{2v_o}{g}}$

Which equation is most likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs:time graph?

tresset_1 [31]

Acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec

exis [7]

<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

A charge of uniform volume density (40 nC/m3) fills a cube with 8.0-cm edges. What is the total electric flux through the surfac

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The flux through the surface of the cube is $2.314\ Nm^{2}/C$

Solution:

As per the question:

Edge of the cube, a = 8.0 cm = $8.0\times 10^{- 2}\ m$

Volume Charge density, $\rho_{v} = 40 nC/m^{3} = 40\times {- 9}\ C/m^{3}$

Now,

To calculate the electric flux:

$\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_{o}}$ (1)

where

$\phi$ = electric flux

$\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12}\ F/m$ = permittivity of free space

Volume Charge density for the given case is given by the formula:

$\rho_{v} = \frac{Total\ charge, q}{Volume of cube, V}$ (2)

Volume of cube, $V = a^{3}$

Thus

$V = (8.0\times 10^{- 2})^{3} = 5.12\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{3}$

Thus from eqn (2), the total charge is given by:

$q = \rho_{v}V = 40\times {- 9}\times 5.12\times 10^{- 4}$

$q = 2.048\times 10^{-11}\ F = 20.48\ pF$

Now, substitute the value of 'q' in eqn (1):

$\phi = \frac{2.048\times 10^{-11}}{8.85\times 10^{- 12}} = 2.314\ Nm^{2}/C$
