Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located

const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

$v = \lambda f$

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

$\lambda = 2.5 m$

$f = 10 Hz$

now speed of the wave is given as

$v = 10(2.5)$

$v = 25 m/s$

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

$t = \frac{L}{v}$

$t = \frac{5}{25}$

$t = 0.2 s$

A(n) 0.2 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 0.1 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . If a c

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

$T=83.37N$

Explanation:

Since the object is under a circular motion, according to Newton's second law, when the object is at the top of the circle we have:

$\sum F_y: T-mg=F_c$

Where $F_c$ is the centripetal force and is given by:

$F_c=ma_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

Replacing and solving for T:

$T=m\frac{v^2}{r}+mg\\T=0.2kg\frac{(6.38\frac{m}{s})^2}{0.1m}+0.2kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\T=83.37N$

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is $29.86km/s$

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is $1.50x10^{8} km$ .

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

( $r = 1.50x10^{8}km$ ) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

$365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d}$ ⇒ $31557600s$

Then, equation 1 can be used:

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}$

$v = 29.86km/s$
