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

A sky-diver jumps from a stationary balloon. His initial downwards acceleration is 10m/s².
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

a. The force acting down is gravity, on Earth gravity is 10 m/s^2. When the skydiver jump, the acceleration will start out as -10 m/s^2, but it will eventually equals the air resistance , which is called terminal velocity.

A 0.10 newton spring toy with a spring constant of 160 newtons per meter is compressed 0.05 meter before it is launched. When re
forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) V = 0.2 J (2) 0.05J

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

K = 160 N/m

x = 0.05 m

Now,

(1) we solve for the  initial potential energy stored

Thus,

V = 1/2 kx² = 0.5 * 160 * (0.05)²

Therefore V = 0.2 J

(2)Now, we solve for how much of the internal energy is produced as the toy springs up to its maximum height.

By using the energy conversion, we have the following

ΔV = mgh

=(0.1/9.8) * 9.8 * 1.5 = 0.15J

The internal energy = 0.2 -0.15

=0.05J

when the temperature of the air is 25 degrees Celsius the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
scZoUnD [109]

Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature
only.   Air is almost an ideal gas.

Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s.

The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information
regarding the direction of the sound.
