A 1 kg coconut falls vertically from a height of 10 meters. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

Question 1:

Mass=1kg

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s^2

Height=10m

on the before falling it has potential energy

Potential energy=mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Potential energy=1 x 9.8 x 10

Potential energy=98 joules

Question 2:

Potential energy=kinetic energy base base on energy transformation

Kinetic energy=(mass x (velocity)^2)➗2

98=(1 x(velocity))^2 ➗ 2

Cross multiplying

98 x 2=(velocity)^2

196=(velocity)^2

Velocity=√(196)

Velocity=14

Velocity=14m/s

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer

Hi,

correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time

a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)

a=v-u/Δt

The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²

In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u

Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v

Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt

a= (44-2)/12  = 42/12

3.5 m/s²

Best Wishes!

The resistivity of a silver wire with a radius of 5.04 × 10–4 m is 1.59 × 10–8 ω · m. if the length of the wire is 3.00 m, what
Alexxx [7]
<span>5.98 x 10^-2 ohms. Resistance is defined as: R = rl/A where R = resistance in ohms r = resistivity (given as 1.59x10^-8) l = length of wire. A = Cross sectional area of wire. So plugging into the formula, the known values, including the area of a circle being pi*r^2, gives: R = 1.59x10^-8 * 3.00 / (pi * (5.04 x 10^-4)^2) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (pi * 2.54016 x 10 ^-7) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (7.98015 x 10^-7) R = 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms So that wire has a resistance of 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms.</span>

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

Water evaporates off lakes. Winds blow across the planet. Where does the energy come from for these and other weather processes?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

B. Solar energy

Explanation:

The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.
