A 27 kg bear slides, from rest, 14 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 6.1 m/s just before hitting the ground.

(a) What change occurs in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide? (b) What is the kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground? (c) What is the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear?

<h2>Thus the force of friction is 235 N</h2>

Explanation:

When the bear was at the height of 14 m . Its potential energy = m g h

here m is the mass of bear , g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height .

Thus P.E =  27 x 10 x 14 = 3780 J

The K.E of the bear just before hitting = \frac{1}{2} m v²

=   \frac{1}{2} x 27 x ( 6.1 )²  = 490 J

The force of friction f = P.E - K.E = 3290 J

Because the work done = Force x Distance

Thus frictional force = \frac{3290}{14} = 235 N

What two things must be true about a sample in order to date it via radiocarbon dating by evaluating the decay of carbon-14
natka813 [3]

Carbon -14 is a dating method that is applicable to only samples of organic origin which are less than 50,000 years old.

When living things contain carbon- 14. Carbon - 14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that decays by beta emission. As long as a plant or animal is alive, there is a balance between its intake and output of carbon -14.

However, when the plant or animal dies, this carbon - 14 begins to decay. The half life of carbon - 14 is 5700 years and it can be used to measure the age of materials or organic origin that are less than 50,000 years old.

Calculate the angular velocity of a clocks second hand, its minute hand, and its hour hand. State in Rad/s. What is its angular
fenix001 [56]

Second hand:

1 rev per minute = (2π radians/minute) x (1 min/60sec) = π/30 rad/sec

Minute hand:

1 rev per hour = (2π radians/hour) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = π/1800 rad/sec

Hour hand:

1 rev per 12 hours = (2π rad/12 hr) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = π/21,600 rad/sec

As long as the clock is in good working order, and the hands are turning steadily at their normal rate, there is no angular acceleration.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: it is incorrect because skepticism helps scientists recognize when ideas are not supported by evidence.

Explanation:

Skepticism is simply the understanding that there can be uncertainty when it comes to knowledge in certain areas.

From the question, we are informed that John doesn't think that skepticism should play an important role in the scientific process and that he says that skepticism interferes with scientific consensus.

The statement that best describes John's conclusion is that it is incorrect because skepticism helps scientists recognize when ideas are not supported by evidence.

Write Newton's 3rd law. How would this law relate to a rocket ship taking off from the earth? Would this law affect the rocket s
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Part A

Newton's 3rd law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, mathematically, we have;

F_A = -F_B

Where;

F_A = The action force

F_B = The reaction force

Part B

The law indicates that the force with which a rocket ship uses in taking off from the Earth, F_A is equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction to the reaction force of the Earth to the motion of the rocket, (-)F_B

Part C

The law is a universal law, and it will also affect the rocket ship in space, as the force of the jet from the exhaust is directed towards Earth while in space, the rocket is propelled deeper into space
