A cyclist is coasting at 15 m/s when she starts down a 450 m long slope that is 30 m high. The cyclist and her bicycle have a co
Flura [38]

Answer:

Her speed at the bottom of the slope is 25.665 m/s

Explanation:

Here we have

Initial velocity, v₁= 15 m/s

Final velocity = v₂

The energy balance present in the system can be represented as

\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - mgh = W

Where:

m = Mass of the cyclist = 70 kg

W = work done by the drag force = -F_Dd

Where:

d = Distance traveled = 450 m

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - mgh = -F_Dd and

v_2^2 =\frac{ \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + mgh  -F_Dd}{ \frac{1}{2}m}  = v_1^2 + 2gh -\frac{   2F_Dd}{ m} = 15^2 + 2\times 9.8\times 30 - \frac{2\times 12\times 450}{70}

= 658.714 m²/s²

v₂ = 25.665 m/s

Her speed at the bottom of the slope = 25.665 m/s.

Answer:

Answer: Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave. This requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave. This does not require a medium to travel. These can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Hence, Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves

A wire with a mass of 1.14 g/cm is placed on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.200. The wire carries a cu
anzhelika [568]

Answer: B=0.0162T

Explanation:

let this sign be ∅ (titha in degrees)

let coefficient of friction of 0.200 be u

and i be current i= 1.41A

mass m=1.14g/cm m=0.0114g/m

To find the magnetic field from the north will be:

tan ∅= u

∅=tan^{-1}(0.200

∅=11.3°

The direction:

i L*B cos(∅)=  umg

divide both by iLcos(∅) to find B

B= \frac{umg}{iBcos(∅)}  where m=\frac{m}{L}

B= \frac{u(m/L)g}{icos(∅)}

B= \frac{0.200*0.0114*9.81}{1.41*cos(11.3)}

B=0.0162T
