Answer: 5.047m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity (U) = ?

Height (s) = 1.3m

Time taken (t) =?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

From equation of motion;

S = ut - ½gt².........equation (i) (note the negative sign is because the Hooper is moving against gravity).

Velocity at maximum height = 0

V = u - gt ........ equation (ii)

0 = u - gt

t = u/g

Put t = u/g into equation (i)

S = u(u/g) - ½g(u/g)²

S = u²/g - ½u²/g

S = ½u²/g

2S = u²/g

U² = 2Sg

U² = 2 * 1.3 * 9.8

U² = 25.48

U = 5.047m/s (take square root of U²)

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

This table shows Wayne’s weight on four different planets. Planet Wayne’s weight (pounds) Mars 53 Neptune 159 Venus 128 Jupiter

oee [108]

The correct order is (in decreasing order of gravity strength)
Jupiter - Neptune - Venus - Mars

In fact, Wayne's weight on each planet is given by
$W=mg$
where m is Wayne's mass, which is a constant value, and g is the gravity strength at the surface of the planet. Therefore, the Wayne's weight W on each planet is directly proportional to the gravity strength of that planet: so the planet with the strongest gravity is the one where Wayne's weight is the greatest (Jupiter, 333 pounds), followed by Neptune (159), Venus (128) and Mars (53).

a 0.0215m diameter coin rolls up a 20 degree inclined plane. the coin starts with an initial angular speed of 55.2rad/s and roll

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$h = 0.0362\,m$

Explanation:

Given the absence of non-conservative force, the motion of the coin is modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation solely.

$U_{g,A} + K_{A} = U_{g,B} + K_{B}$

$U_{g,B} - U_{g,A} = K_{A} - K_{B}$

$m\cdot g \cdot h = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I \cdot \omega_{o}^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the coin is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}$

After some algebraic handling, an expression for the maximum vertical height is derived:

$m\cdot g \cdot h = \frac{1}{4}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}\cdot \omega_{o}^{2}$

$h = \frac{r^{2}\cdot \omega_{o}^{2}}{g}$

$h = \frac{(0.0108\,m)^{2}\cdot (55.2\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$h = 0.0362\,m$

A 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft box weighs 100 pounds, and the weight is evenly distributed. What is the magnitude of the minimum horizonta

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the force required be F . It is applied at the top of the box . The box is likely to turn about a corner . Torque of this force about this corner

= F x 2

This torque will try to turn the box . On the other hand the weight which is acting at CM will create a torque about the same corner . This torque will try to prevent the box to turn around the corner.

This torque of weight

= 100 x 1

= 100 pound ft.

For equilibrium

Torque of F = torque of weight.

F x 2 = 100

F = 50 pounds .

Nikitich [7]

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ the acceleration due gravity and $h$ the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of $U_{p}$ is directly proportional to the height.
