The mechanical energy of the girl will be conserved because the system is isolated and the initial potential energy will be equal to final kinetic energy.

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

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The change in the potential energy of the  launched from a height into the pool without friction from the given height h is calculated by applying the following kinematic equation.

ΔP.E = ΔK.E

where;

  • ΔP.E is change in potential energy of the child
  • ΔK.E is change in the kinetic energy of the child

mghf - mghi = ¹/₂mv²  - ¹/₂mu²

where;

  • m is the mass of the girl
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • hi is the initial height of the girl
  • hf is the final height when she is launched into the pool
  • u is the initial velocity
  • v is the final velocity of the girl

Thus, for every closed or isolated system such as this case, mechanical energy is always conserved because the initial potential energy of the girl will be converted into her final kinetic energy.

Based on the data given, in what direction will the car accelerate?
skad [1K]
Vertical forces:
There is a force of 579N acting upward, and a force of 579N
acting downward.
The vertical forces are balanced ... they add up to zero ...
so there's no vertical acceleration. 
Not up, not down.

Horizontal forces:
There is a force of 487N acting to the left, and a force of 632N
acting to the right.
The net horizontal force is

        (487-left + 632-right)  -  (632-right - 487-right) =  145N to the right.

The net force on the car is all to the right.
The car accelerates to the right.

Which law is used to find the magnitude of a magnetic force?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The Flemings left hand rule is used to find the magnitude of a magnetic force

Explanation:

Fleming's left hand rule states that if the first three fingers are held mutually at right angles to one another, then the fore finger points into the direction of magnetic field the middle finger in the direction of current while the thumb points in the direction of force.

Mathematically

Magnetic Force F= BILsinθ

Where

B= magnetic field density Tesla

I= current

L= length of conductor

θ= angle of conductor with field

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

a_sh-v [17]

The sister suddenly pushes her brother. As a result, the sister moves with kinetic energy k. The resulting kinetic energy of the brother is k/2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The ability of an object to do work by virtue of its motion is called the kinetic energy.

A brother and sister are standing next to each other at rest on a surface of frictionless ice. The brother’s mass is exactly twice that of his sister’s.

If the sister's mass is m, the brother's mass is 2m.

The kinetic energy of sister is k =1/2 mv²,

The velocity will also get halved for brother, So, the kinetic energy of brother will be

k' = 1/2 (2m)(v/2)²

On comparing, the relation between the kinetic energy of brother and sister is k' = k/2

Thus, the resulting kinetic energy of the brother is k/2.
