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

Write whether true or false...
elixir [45]

Answer:

a --> true, b --> false, c --> true, d -->false

Explanation:

a) since it stays floating the gravity force and the upqards push is the same

b) if it's balanced the rocket won't move from the ground, the force of the rocket, has to exceed the force of gravity

c) since it's going in a diretion the force of gravity is exceeding the force pushing it up

d) since that are speeding up at a rate, meaning growing, the force is unbalanced.

If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge, the Como become charged by
LenKa [72]
The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.

A sinusoidal wave of angular frequency 1,203 rad/s and amplitude 3.1 mm is sent along a cord with linear density 3.9 g/m and ten
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

18.7842493212 W

Explanation:

T = Tension = 1871 N

\mu = Linear density = 3.9 g/m

y = Amplitude = 3.1 mm

\omega = Angular frequency = 1203 rad/s

Average rate of energy transfer is given by

P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{T\mu}\omega^2y^2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{1871\times 3.9\times 10^{-3}}\times 1203^2\times (3.1\times 10^{-3})^2\\\Rightarrow P=18.7842493212\ W

The average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord is 18.7842493212 W
