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

Which two factors does the power of a machine depend on?
lianna [129]

The power of a machine depend on two factors are work and time.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, power defined as the amount of work done in a unit time. i.e. delivering work in a rate of time or energy supply, expressed in input of work or transmitted energy divided by the time interval (t) or W/t.

Example: Some work can be done in the long run with a low-power engine or in a short time with a motor with high performance. The equation for power can be given as

              Power\ (in\ watts) =\frac{\text { work (joules) }}{\text { time (seconds) }}

              P=\frac{W}{t}

A uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R is free to rotate about a horizontal axis through its center. A string is wrapped
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

a = \frac{mg}{m + \frac{2}{5}M}

Explanation:

To calculate the Acceleration and the tension of the object, we start by considering the value of the Tension through its moment of Inertia and Acceleration based on the angular velocity

\tau = I\alpha = Tension(T)*R

And a = \alpha R

Replacing,

T*R = I\alpha = (\frac{2}{5} MR^2)*\frac{a}{R})\\T*R = \frac{2}{5}MaR\\T = \frac{2}{5}Ma

The following forces occur in the body,

mg - T = ma

By this way we have the acceleration

mg - \frac{2}{5}Ma = ma

a(m + \frac{2}{5})M) = mg

a = \frac{mg}{m + \frac{2}{5}M}

How sound is transmitted through the water​
photoshop1234 [79]

Explanation:

When your head is submerged your skull also vibrates with the sound because it is close to the same density and elasticity as water. Below the surface sound wave pass directly through water and into your head. And above the surface the sound waves only vibrates your ear drum unless the sound is very loud.

A mercury atom in the ground state absorbs 20.00 electronvolts of energy and is ionized by losing an electron. How much kinetic
sukhopar [10]
We are given a mercury atom in the ground state which absorbs 20 eV of energy. It is then ionized by losing an electron. We need to calculate the kinetic energy that the electron has after ionization.

The initial energy is 20 eV = 20 J/C
The electron charge is = 1.60217662 × 10-19<span> coulombs

To determine the kinetic energy, we can use this equation:

KE = 20 Joules / Coulombs * </span>1.60217662 × 10-19<span> coulombs 
KE = 1.25x10^20 Joules 

Therefore, the amount of kinetic energy that the electron has after ionization is </span>1.25x10^20 Joules or 1.25x10^17 kJ. <span />

If the pressure acting on a given sample of an ideal gas at constant temperature is tripled, what happens to the volume of the g
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a)The volume is reduced to one-third of its original value.

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, we can apply Boyle's law, which states that the product between pressure and volume is constant:

pV=const.

where p is the pressure and V the volume.

In our case, this law can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where the labels 1 and 2 refer to the initial and final conditions of the gas.

For the gas in the problem, the pressure of the gas is tripled, so

p_2 = 3p_1

And re-arranging the equation we find what happens to the volume:

V_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{p_1 V_1}{3p_1}=\frac{V_1}{3}

so, the volume is reduced to 1/3 of its original value.
