When the two-vehicle collides transformation of the energy is done in terms of kinetic energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be transferred from one form to another.

The total energy is the sum of all the energies present in the system. The potential energy in a system is due to its position in the system.

In the above problem, the Vehicle get collides so that the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted into the kinetic energy of another vehicle the speed of the vehicle will reduce when they collide.

Momentum also gets conserved when the two vehicles collide.

Hence, the transformation of the energy is done in terms of kinetic energy.

To learn more about the law of conservation of energy, refer to brainly.com/question/2137260.

A gymnast of mass 62.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) T = 608.22 N

b) T = 608.22 N

c) T = 682.62 N

d) T = 533.82 N

Explanation:

Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg

Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.

So;

To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;

T = mg

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s²

the tension in the string is  T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)

T = ma + mg

= m (a + g )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2  m/s²)

= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)

= 682.62 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is  mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)

T = mg - ma

= m (g - a )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)

= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)

= 533.82 N

What are tectonic plates, and which of Earht's layers are they composed of?
motikmotik

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)

A force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s² in mass m1 and an acceleration of 5 m/s² in
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

<u>for the first one</u><u>:</u><u> </u>

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

<u>for</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>second</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

P=\rho.g.h

\rho=density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

  • And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
