Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong...  But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1.2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is t
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Explanation:

What is acceleration?

It is the change in velocity with respect to time, or the rate of change of velocity.

We can write this as:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Where

a is the acceleration

v is velocity

t is time

\Delta  is "change in"

For this problem , we are given

a = 1.2

t = 10

Putting into formula, we get:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\1.2=\frac{\Delta v}{10}\\\Delta v = 1.2*10\\\Delta v = 12

So, the change in velocity is 12 m/s

The change in velocity can also be written as:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity

It is given Final Velocity = 16, so we put it into formula and find Initial Velocity. Shown Below:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity\\12=16-Initial \ Velocity\\Initial \ Velocity = 16 - 12 = 4

hence,

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Ryan and Becca are moving a folding table out of the sunlight. A cup of lemonade, with the message 0.44 kg is on the table. Becc
jarptica [38.1K]
Calculate the weight of the table through the equation,

   W = mg

where W is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values,
   W = (0.44 kg)(9.8 m/s²) 
   <em>W = 4.312 N</em>

The components of this weight can be calculated through the equation,

   Wx = W(sin θ) 

and Wy = W(cos θ)

x - component:
   Wx = W(sin θ)
Substituting,
  Wx = (4.312 N)(sin 150°) = <em>2.156 N</em>

  Wy = (4.312 N)(cos 150°) =<em> -3.734 N</em>

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back 2.0 cm and released. If, instead, a 0.40 kg mass were used in this same exp
KIM [24]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy does not change if the value of the mass is changed. That is, remain the same

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system is equal to the elastic potential energy where the object is at the amplitude of the motion. That is:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2       (1)

k: spring constant

A: amplitude of the motion = 2.0cm

As you can notice in the equation (1), the total mechanical energy of the system does not depend of the mass of the object. It only depends of the amplitude A and the spring constant.

Hence, if you use a mass of 0.40kg the total mechanical energy is the same as the obtained with a mas 0.20kg

Remain the same

The rotational speeds of four generators are listed in RPM (revolutions per minute). Arrange the generators in order based on th
artcher [175]

with the same generator, so the only factor for producing the slectric field is only the speed. The faster the rotational speed of the generator the greater it produce electric field. So the sequence is 3000 rpm < 3200 rpm < 3400 rpm < 3600 rpm

The boom hoisting sheave must have pitch diameters of no less than _______times the nominal diameter of the rope used.
alexira [117]

Answer:

18 times

Explanation:

According to the security purposes which is set under the rules and regulation OSHA, which describes all the rights to the worker.

In the boom hoist receiving system all the sheaves which are used should have a pitch diameter of rope not less than 18 times the diameter of the nominal rope which is used.
