Answer:

Option d) only its mechanical energy is conserved

Explanation:

Since, mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy.

Potential energy depends directly on height while kinetic energy depend on the speed of the body.

When the rock is dropped its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases while the potential energy is maximum at the top and kinetic energy was zero.

Therefore, these two energies are inter convertible and when one increases the other decreases and vice-versa keeping the overall mechanical energy conserved.

Human-Powered Flight Human-powered aircraft require a pilot to pedal, as in a bicycle, and produce a sustained power output of a
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

Cells that remain as sources of other cells are called
inna [77]
They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells

Apilot of mass 70 kg rides a fighter jet The fighter jet moves in a vertical circle of radius 100 m at a constant
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

the  force exerted by the seat on the pilot is 10766.7 N

Explanation:

The computation of the force exerted by the seat on the pilot is as follows:

F = Mg + \frac{MV^2}{R}\\\\= 70 \times 9.81  + \frac{70 \times 120^2}{100}\\\\= 10766.7 N

Hence, the  force exerted by the seat on the pilot is 10766.7 N
