2) Billy jumps upward with a velocity of 4.2 m/s off a 6m high diving board. What is his final velocity once he hits the water?

And how long does it take for Billy to hit the water?

Answer:

The calculated value for the final velocity is v = 11.6 \ m/s.

Explanation:

Using the standard kinematic equation,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where a is the acceleration, which is equivalent to g.

Thus,

v^2 = u^2 + 2gs

substituting 6 m for s and 4.2 m/s for u,

v^2 = 4.2^2 + 2 * 9.8 * 6

v = 11.6 \ m/s

A 20.00-kg lead sphere is hanging from a hook by a thin wire 2.80 m long and is free to swing in a complete circle. Suddenly it
Keith_Richards [3271]
Objects in vertical motion are an illustration of non-uniform motion. At the peak of the circle, centripetal force is balanced by the object's weight. Therefore, the minimum speed required at this top point is given by v = \sqrt{rg} = \sqrt{2.80 \times 9.8} = 5.23 m/s. As the sphere descends from the top to the bottom of the circle, according to the law of conservation of energy, potential energy can be expressed as

P.E_{highest} = mgh

, where h signifies the diameter of the circle (2r). Hence, the expression will be written as P.E_{highest} = mg(2r)

where u is the velocity at the lowest point. Consequently, the modified equation is

= \sqrt{v^{2} + 4gr}

= \sqrt{(5.23)^{2} + (4 \times 9.8 \times 2.80)}

= 11.71 m/s. The collision of the dart with the bullet is an inelastic one. According to the conservation of momentum: v = \frac{(m_{1} + m_{2})u}{m_{2}}

= \frac{(20 + 5) \times 11.71}{5}

= \frac{292.75}{5}

= 58.55 m/s. Thus, the dart's minimum initial speed for the combined system to complete a circular loop post-collision is 58.55 m/s.

A fan that is switched on for 1 minute uses 500 W usefully but also wastes 300 W through the emission of sound and heat. What's
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Explanation:

Efficiency can be expressed as the ratio of useful output to the total power consumed. E = \frac{useful}{total}

The fan delivers 500W as useful output while wasting 300W. Thus, the overall power consumed equals 800W (500 + 300).
