U₂ = 20 J

KE₂ = 40 J

v= 12.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

H= 12 m

m = 0.5 kg

h= 4 m

The potential energy at position 1

U₁ = m g H

U₁ = 0.5 x 10 x 12 ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₁ = 60 J

The potential energy at position 2

U₂ = m g h

U ₂= 0.5 x 10 x 4 ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₂ = 20 J

The kinetic energy at position 1

KE= 0

The kinetic energy at position 2

KE= 1/2 m V²

From energy conservation

U₁+KE₁=U₂+KE₂

By putting the values

60 - 20 = KE₂

KE₂ = 40 J

lets take final velocity is v m/s

KE₂= 1/2 m v²

By putting the values

40 = 1/2 x 0.5 x v²

160 = v²

v= 12.64 m/s

Answer from: amaliabarrera9

The bucket's velocity is v = 12.522 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Height above the ground, H = 12 m

Mass of bucket, m = 0.5 kg

Height of bucket, h = 4m

Taking acceleration of gravity, g as 9.8m/s²

First, we calculate the potential energy when bucket is on scaffolding (just about to fall) its total energy is 100%

P.E = mgH

P.E = 0.5 * 9.8 * 12

P.E = 58.8 J

At this point, the object is at rest, so the kinetic energy is 0 J

When the object is at 4 m above the ground, the bucket's total mechanical energy is as follows using conservation of energy

M.E $= mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

Where Total mechanical energy (M.E) = P.E (calculated above) = 58.8 J

By substitution, we have

$58.8 = 0.5 * 9.8 * 4 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}$

$58.8 = 19.6 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}$

$58.8 - 19.6 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}$

$39.2 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 * v^{2}$

$39.2 = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * v^{2}$

$39.2 * 2 * 2= v^{2}$

$156.8= v^{2}$ --- Take Square roots

$\sqrt{156.8} = \sqrt{v^{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{156.8}$

v = 12.522 m/s ---- Approximated

Hence, the bucket's velocity is v = 12.522 m/s

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
