<span>Calculating for potential energy P.E=mgh
m=mass
g=acceleration due to gravity
h=height
</span>Let the twig's mass be M<span> 
</span><span>
therefore at the start, the twig has 200*9.8*M potential energy. 

</span>During its fall 40% twig's energy is converted into thermal energy and the remaining <span>60% of this will turn into kinetic energy during the fall, giving us 1176M
Now the equation for kinetic energy, K.E is 0.5*m*v^2
m is mass
v is velocity

Therefore 1176M=0.5*M*v^2 (mass will divide out)
velocity is </span><span>48.49 m/s</span>

A particle decelerates uniformly from a speed of 30 cm/s to rest in a time interval of 5.0 s. It then has a uniform acceleration
wel

Answer:

V=20cm/s

Explanation:

The average speed is the distance total divided the time total:

V=X/T

First stage:

T1=5s

v_{f}  =v_{o} - at

But, v_{f}  =0   (decelerates to rest)

then: a =v_{o} /t=0.3/5=0.06m/s^{2}

on the other hand:

x =v_{o}*t - 1/2*at^{2}=0.3*5-1/2*0.06*5^{2}=0.75m

X1=75cm

Second stage:

T2=5s

x =v_{o}*t + 1/2*at^{2}=0+1/2*0.1*5^{2}=1.25m

X2=125cm

Finally:

X=X1+X2=200cm

T=T1+T2=10s

V=X/T=20cm/s

The image on the left shows the charges on a balloon after it’s been rubbed with a wool cloth. The image on the right is a piece
taurus [48]

When wool is rubbed with a balloon, the wool is left with a positive charge as electrons have travelled from the wool to the balloon which means the balloon now has a negative charge.

Now that the balloon has a negative charge, you need to know:
The tissue paper originally contains electrons and protons
The fact that the balloon has a negative charge, it will ATTRACT protons because protons are POSITIVE and electrons are NEGATIVE.
So once they are attracted, they will move closer to one another.

A 5-kg concrete block is lowered with a downward acceleration of 2.8 m/s2 by means of a rope. The force of the block on the Eart
maksim [4K]

When the body touches the ground two types of Forces will be generated. The Force product of the weight and the Normal Force. This is basically explained in Newton's third law in which we have that for every action there must also be a reaction. If the Force of the weight is pointing towards the earth, the reaction Force of the block will be opposite, that is, upwards and will be equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Therefore the correct answer is E.

Which of the following forms of radiation can penetrate up to a 2-cm layer of skin tissue?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

d). X-rays

Explanation:

X -rays are also called photons. They are a packet of electro magnetic radiation. X rays originate from the shell of the electron.  X rays are highly penetrating, and have a shorter wavelength than alpha particles and the beta particles. They are similar to the gamma rays which are also has a high penetrating power and easily pass through the human body.

 Thus X rays can penetrate a skin tissue upto 2 cm thickness.
