A 2 kg object released from rest at the top of a tall cliff reaches a terminal speed of 37.5 m/s after it has fallen a height of

110 m . How much kinetic energy approximately did the air molecules gain from the falling object after it has fallen through this height?

Answer:

3562.25 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the object = 2 kg

v = speed of the object after falling through height of 110 m , = 37.5 m/s

h = height through which the object fall = 110 m

KE = Kinetic energy gained by air molecules

Kinetic energy gained by air molecules is given as

KE = (0.5) m v² + mgh

KE = (0.5) (2) (37.5)² + (2) (9.8) (110)

KE = 3562.25 J

A grapefruit falls from a tree and hits the ground .75 seconds later. How far did the grapefruit drop? What was its speed?
Ivanshal [37]
1) The grapefruit is in free fall, so it moves by uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2. Calling h its height at t=0, the height at time t is given by
h(t)=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
We are told thatn when t=0.75 s the grapefruit hits the ground, so h(0.75 s)=0. If we substitute these data into the equation, we can find the initial height h of the grapefruit:
0=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
h= \frac{1}{2}gt^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(0.75 s)^2=2.76 m

2) The speed of the grapefruit at time t is given by
v(t)=v_0 +gt
where v_0=0 is the initial speed of the grapefruit. Substituting t=0.75 s, we find the speed when the grapefruit hits the ground:
v(0.75 s)=gt=(9.81 m/s^2)(0.75 s)=7.36 m/s

engineers who design battery operated devices suck as sell phones and MP3 players try to make them as efficient as possible. An
ICE Princess25 [194]
If the 5,500 J of sound and light is the ONLY useful output
from the phone, then the phone's efficiency is

                   (5,500J / 10,000J)  =  0.55  =  55% .

But the test engineer forgot one little minor almost insignificant detail.
As a test engineer myself, I'd say that he needs to turn in his laptop
and soldering iron, and think about changing his career to a job for
which he may be better suited, like 8 hours a day in a highway toll-booth.  

What about that little radio transmitter and receiver inside the phone,
that maintain digital RF communication with the nearest cell tower ?
Without that microscopic radio transceiver ... plus 30 or 40 apps
that are always running unless you shut them off ... the device in your
pocket is essentially a flat rock with one side that sometimes glows.

A crate is lifted vertically 1.5 m and then held at rest. The crate has weight 100 N (i.e., it is reese (enr647) – HS OnRamps 04
icang [17]

Answer:

W = 0 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the crate, W = 100 N

Distance moved by the crate, d = 1.5 m

Let W is the work done to hold the crate 1.5 m above the ground in this way. It is given by the product of force and the displacement. Its formula is given by :

W=F\times d\times cos\theta

Here, \theta=90^{\circ} as it is lifted vertically

W=100\ N\times 1.5\ m\ cos(90)      

W = 0

So, the work done to hold the crate is 0. Hence, this is the required solution.
