Answer:

She can swing 1.0 m high.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

And the potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of Jane.

v = velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

h = height.

Then:

ME = KE + PE

Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:

ME = KE + PE (PE = 0)

ME = KE

ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²

ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²

When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:

ME = KE + PE (KE = 0)

ME = PE

ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:

m · 10.125 m²/s² = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s² = h

h = 1.0 m

She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).

A proton is going 2,000 m/s into a magnetic field of 300 T. How much force does it feel. The charge of a proton = 1.602 x 10^-19

NemiM [27]

This depends on the direction of the velocity vector to the magnetic field vector. The force is F=q(VxB) ("x" is the cross product.) The max force is when V and B are perpendicular. Then F=qVB = (1.602e-19)(2000)(300) = 9.612e-14 N

Two identical blocks, A and B, are on a horizontal surface, as shown above. There is negligible friction between the surface and

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

the speed of the center of mass stays the same

Explanation:

In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.

Free runners jump long distances and land on the ground or a wall. How do they apply Newton’s second law to lessen the force of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

As we know that as per Newton's II law we have

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

here we will have

$dP$ = change in momentum

$dt$ = time interval in which momentum is changed

now in order to have least injury during jumping we need to have least force on the jumper

so in order to have least force we can say that the momentum must have to change in maximum time so that amount of force must be least

So we need to increase the time in which momentum of the system is changed

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51

nirvana33 [79]

The resistance of the piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m$ is the resistivity of the copper
$L=5.1 cm=0.051 m$ is the length of the piece of wire
$A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2$ is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega$

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
$V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V$
