Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following formula.

$GPE=mgh$

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass $m=0.005 \,kg$ , and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of $h=555 \, ft$ , thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

$h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}$

That give u s

$h = 169.2 \, m$

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

$GPE=mgh$

And we get

$GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J$

$\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}$

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

The windshield of a car has a total length of arm and blade of 9 inches, and rotates back and forth through an angle of 93degre

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade is 62.49 in²

Explanation:

Given

Length of blade = 9 inches

Angle of rotation = 93°

We're to calculate the area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade?

We'll solve this by using area of a sector.

Area of a sector = ½r²θ

where θ is in radians.

So, angle of rotation (93°) must first be converted to radians

Converting 93º to radians, we get 31π/60

The area of the region swept out by the wiper blade = (area of the sector where r = 9 and

θ = 31π/60) - (area of the sector where r = (9-7) and θ = 31π/60).

We're making use of 9-7 because that region is outside the boundary of the 7in blade

So Area = ½*9²*31π/60 - ½*2²*31π/60

Area = ½*31π/60(9²-7²)

Area = 31π/120 * (81 - 49)

Area = 31π/120 * 32

Area = 992π/120

Area = 62.49151386765697 in²

Area ≈ 62.49 in²

Hence, the area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade is 62.49 in²

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal

borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be 80cm.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is 20 cm.

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)
