2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de

kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

= 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b

Andrews [41]

<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>

1. What is the momentum of a golf ball with a mass of 62 g moving at 73 m/s?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.53 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 62 g = 0.062 kg

velocity = 73 m/s

We have

momentum = 0.062 × 73 = 4.526

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.53 kgm/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$

A 3.0-kg cart moving to the right with a speed of 1.0 m/s has a head-on collision with a 5.0-kg cart that is initially moving to

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$v = 0.8 m/s$ towards left

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two cart so total momentum of the system is conserved

so we will say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

now plug in all data into the above equation

$3(1) + 5(-2) = 3(-1) + 5 v$

here we assumed that left direction of motion is negative while right direction is positive

so we can solve it for speed v now

$3 - 10 = - 3 + 5 v$

$5 v = -4$

$v = -0.8 m/s$
