As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

Find the kinetic of a 0.1 kilogram toy truck moving at a speed of 1.1 meters per second
omeli [17]
KE = kinetic energy
PE = potential energy
GPE = gravitational potential energy
energy is always measured in Joules (J)

KE = (0.5) times the mass times the velocity^2
square the velocity first

Mass = (KE x 2) / v^2
square the velocity first, then double the kinetic energy, then divide
mass is measured in kg

velocity = sqrt(KE x 2 / m)
velocity can be called speed, like in the the second problem
remember to find the square root after you double the KE and divide that by the mass.
for example: if after you doubled KE and divided it by the mass you got sqrt(20), the answer would be about 4.47

GPE = mass x gravitational pull (about 9.8 m/s^2 on earth) x height

height = (PE) / (g x m)
do g x m first

So for question 1:
KE = (0.5)0.1 x 1.1^2
always square the velocity first:
KE = (0.5)0.1 x 1.21
KE = 0.0605
so if you rounded it to the nearest hundreths you would get KE = 0.06 J
don't forget the unit of energy is in Joules

We use the formula: p = E/c where E = hc / λ. hence, p = h/  λ. where h is the Planck's constant: 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s and <span>λ is the wavelenght.

a) p = <span>6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s / 0.1 x10^-9 m = 6.62607 x 10-24 m kg/s
</span>b) p = 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s / 3 x10^-2 m = 2.20869 <span>x 10-32 m kg/s
</span>b) p = 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s / 2 x10^-9 m = 3.3130 <span>x 10-25 m kg/s</span>

melomori [17]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A block of mass m begins at rest at the top of a ramp at elevation h with whatever PE is associated with that height. The block slides down the ramp over a distance d until it reaches the bottom of the ramp.

How much of its original total energy (in J) survives as KE when it reaches the ground? m = 9.9 kg h = 4.9 m d = 5 m μ = 0.3 θ = 36.87°

Answer:

the amount of its original total energy (in J) that survives as KE when it reaches the ground will is 358.975 J

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 9.9 kg

h = 4.9 m

d = 5 m

μ = 0.3

θ = 36.87°

Now from conservation of energy, the energy is;

Et = mgh

we substitute

Et = 9.9 × 9.8 × 4.9

= 475.398 J

Also the loss of energy i

E_loss = (umg cosθ) d

we substitute

E_loss  = 0.3 × 9.9 × 9.8 × cos36.87°  × 5

= 116.423 J

so the amount of its original total energy (in J) that survives as KE when it reaches the ground will be

E = Et - E_loss

E = 475.398 J - 116.423 J

E = 358.975 J
