Sitting in a chairlift, Rebecca has a gravitational potential energy of 5,997.6

Physics
1 answer:
stira [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing is called
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing the frequency of action potentials

Explanation:

The force generated by a muscle fiber is the result of the shortening of the skeletal muscle, and this force is also know as muscle tension. The larger motor units shorten along with the smaller units to produce the muscle force. The time lapsed between the beginning of the action potential in the muscle and the beginning of the contraction is the latent period. Action potential is the result of the difference electrical potential as a result of passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle or nerve cell.

An object traveling in a straight line accelerates. What will definitely happen due to the acceleration?
Damm [24]
"Acceleration" means any change in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or turning.  So . . .

<span>-- </span><span>The distance traveled in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The displacement covered in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The speed of the object may increase or decrease.

-- The velocity of the object (speed/direction) will change.

What is force and measurement​
NeTakaya

Explanation:

In physics, force is a quantitative description of an interaction that causes a change in an object's motion. ... It is defined as Mass x Acceleration = Force. The SI unit of force is the newton (N); defined as the unit of force which would give to a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter per second squared. hope this helps you discover the best answer

2. Who bombarded molybdenum with atomic number (Z=42) with fast moving<br>neutrons?<br>​
Dominik [7]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete, however Molybdenum-99 (⁹⁹Mo) is produced by bombarding Molybdenum-98 (⁹⁸Mo) with fast moving neutrons (¹₀n) as shown below

⁹⁸₄₂Mo + ¹₀n ⇒  ⁹⁹₄₂Mo + ⁰₀γ

This reaction is a nuclear caption reaction (which occurs in a nuclear reactor) for the production of Molybdenum-99 (⁹⁹Mo) which serves as a "precursor" for the production of medically viable/ Clinical Grade Technutium-99m (⁹⁹Tc) through Ion-exchange technique.
