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

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

15 The group of elements called the noble gases
kogti [31]

Answer:

C. a full outer shell of valence electrons.

Explanation:

The noble gases has a full outer shell so they don't have to react with other elements to gain or loose electrons (to have a full outer shell and be stable).

Answer:

Si un objeto se mueve en relación a un marco de referencia (por ejemplo, si una profesora se mueve a la derecha con respecto al pizarrón, o un pasajero se mueve hacia la parte trasera de un avión), entonces la posición del objeto cambia. A este cambio en la posición se le conoce como desplazamiento. La palabra desplazamiento implica que un objeto se movió, o se desplazó.

Explanation:

El desplazamiento se define como el cambio en la posición de un objeto. Se puede definir de manera matemática con la siguiente ecuación:

\text{desplazamiento}=\Delta x=x_f-x_0desplazamiento=Δx=x  

f

x_fx  

f

​  

x, start subscript, f, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición final.

x_0x  

0

​  

x, start subscript, 0, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición inicial.

\Delta xΔxdelta, x es el símbolo que se usa para representar el desplazamiento.

Debemos ser cuidados al usar la palabra distancia, ya que hay dos maneras de usar el término en física. Podemos hablar acerca de la distancia entre dos puntos, o podemos hablar de la distancia recorrida por un objeto.

La distancia se define como la magnitud o el tamaño del desplazamiento entre dos posiciones. Observa que la distancia entre dos posiciones no es la misma que la distancia recorrida entre ellas.

Es importante darse cuenta que la distancia recorrida no tiene que ser igual a la magnitud del desplazamiento (es decir, la distancia entre dos puntos). De manera específica, si un objeto cambia de dirección en su trayecto, la distancia total recorrida será mayor que la magnitud del desplazamiento entre esos dos puntos. Ve los ejemplos resueltos a continuación.
