Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at th

e top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high. The maximum velocity she can reach when she skis to the bottom of the slope is meters/second. Use PE = m × g × h, g = 9.8 m/s2, and . Ignore air resistance and friction.

I guess once you input the numbers into the correct places into the equation it would look like this :
PE = 50 * 9.8 * 5.0
PE = 2,450

Answer:

The maximum velocity she can reach when she skis to the bottom of the slope is 9.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Mass of the Dina = m = 50 kg

Height of the ski slope = h = 5.0 m

Velocity of Dina = v

Potential energy of Dina at top of the slope  =  P.E

P.E=mgh

P.E.=50 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 5.0 m=2450 J

when Dina skies down to the bottom her potential energy will get completely converted into kinetic energy. That means potential energy at bottom becomes zero.

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=2450 J

\frac{1}{2}\times 50 kg \times v^2=2450 J

v = 9.89 m/s

The maximum velocity she can reach when she skis to the bottom of the slope is 9.89 m/s.

If the wavelength of a wave is quadrupied then what happens to the frequency of the wqve(Assume speed is constant) ​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if you double the frequency?

If the frequency of a wave is increased, what happens to its wavelength? As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. 2. If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is only half as long.

7) The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is only one-sixth of that on Earth. If you hit a baseball on the Moon with the same e
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is only one-sixth of that on Earth. If we hit a baseball on the moon with the same effort(and at the speed and angle)that we would on earth, the ball would land 6 times as far. The ball on the moon will cover 6 times more distance than Earth.

Explanation:

Speed=distance travelled/Time required speed

Speed=d/t

Acceleration of gravity on earth=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration of gravity on Moon=1.62 m/s^2

So the maximum height of ball will be the ration of these both gravity.

A plastic film moves over two drums. During a 4-s interval the speed of the tape is increased uniformly from v0 = 2ft/s to v1 =
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Question 1)

a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.

v_1 = v_0 + at \\4 = 2 + 4a\\a = 0.5~ft/s^2

This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,

v = \omega R\\a = \alpha R

where α is the angular acceleration.

In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.

Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is

α = 0.5/R.

b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:

v_1^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax\\4^2 = 2^2 + 2(0.5)x\\x = 12 ft

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is

x / (2\pi R) = 6/(\pi R)

Question 2)

a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:

a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{13000}{2600}25 = 125~ft/s^2

b) a = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = - \frac{13000}{400}25 = 812.5~ft/s^2

Explain how scientist learned about the magnetic poles of the Earth.
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Larmor suggested in 1919 that a self-exciting dynamo could explain the magnetic field of the earth, as well as that of the sun and other stars, but it was Elsasser and Bullard in the 1940s who showed how motion in the liquid core of the earth might produce a self-sustaining magnetic field. By this time seismology and other studies had given a clearer picture of the earth, as having a solid inner core, a liquid outer core, both with a composition more of metal (mainly iron) than rock, and a rocky mantle, all below a thin crust that is all we can directly see. Energy from radioactivity travels outwards as heat, producing thermal convection in the core. It seems that this convection is the cause of the earth's magnetic field, although our knowledge of the core and its dynamics is sketchy. Our knowledge is limited to saying that flow regimes like those that may be occurring in the core can produce self-sustaining dynamos, with characteristics similar to that needed to produce the earth’s magnetic field.

If a rigid body rotates about point O, the sum of the moments of the external forces acting on the body about point O equals whi
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The answer to the question is A.

Explanation:

The definition of moment is Force multiplied the distance to the point of interest.

 So the external moment at point O is equal to ⇒ EMо= F×d

 Knowing the definition of moment of inercia (I) and a newtonian Force ( m.a)

We can say that te moment of the externals force at point O is EMо= IGa

Because the rotation of a body in a inmovil point is implicated by the moment of inercia an the action of the gravity in that moment.
