The energy that was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined as 3,360 J.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The amount of energy lost due to  air resistance while she was bouncing is determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

ΔE = P.E - Ux

ΔE = mgh - ¹/₂kx²

ΔE = (50)(9.8)(16) - ¹/₂(35)(16)²

ΔE = 3,360 J

Thus, the energy that was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing is determined as 3,360 J.

A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme
myrzilka [38]

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>current in the wire, I = 2.7 A</em>
  • <em>length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm</em>
  • <em>magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i</em>

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

F = ILBsin(\theta)

where;

  • <em>θ is the angle wire and magnetic field</em>

<em />

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times  sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

To obtain the same resistance force, a greater force must be exerted in a machine of lower efficiency than in a machine
Sindrei [870]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

A resistance force is also known as friction. And the efficiency of a machine is affected by friction.

A machine of lower efficiency has higher magnitude of friction than a machine of higher efficiency.

Therefore, To obtain the same resistance force, a greater force must be exerted in a machine of lower efficiency than in a machine of higher efficiency. This is true

A starship blasts past the earth at 2.0*10^8 m/s .Just after passing the earth, the starship fires a laser beam out its back of
Vilka [71]

Answer:

at the speed of light (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Explanation:

The second postulate of the theory of the special relativity from Einstein states that:

"The speed of light in free space has the same value c in all inertial frames of reference, where c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s"

This means that it doesn't matter if the observer is moving or not relative to the source of ligth: he will always observe light moving at the same speed, c.

In this problem, we have a starship emitting a laser beam (which is an electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light). The startship is moving relative to the Earth with a speed of 2.0*10^8 m/s: however, this is irrelevant for the exercise, because according to the postulate we mentioned above, an observer on Earth will observe the laser beam approaching Earth with a speed of c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s.

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is  r =  5.077 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  Coulomb constant is  k =  9.0 *10^{9} \  N\cdot  m^2  /C^2

   The  charge on the electron/proton  is  e =  1.6*10^{-19} \  C

    The  mass of proton m_{proton} =  1.67*10^{-27} \  kg

    The  mass of  electron is  m_{electron } =  9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

   Then    

       Electric force on the electron  =  The  gravitational Force

i.e  

            m_{electron} *  g  = \frac{ k *  e^2  }{r^2 }

         \frac{9*10^9 *  (1.60 *10^{-19})^2  }{r^2 }  =     9.11 *10^{-31 }  *  9.81

         r =  \sqrt{25.78}

         r =  5.077  \  m
