The correct answer is: 
<span>A) 1000 J

In fact, energy cannot be destroyed nor created: this means that the total energy of the person must remain constant.

The initial energy of the person is U=8000 J, in form of gravitational potential energy. When he jumps and dives into the pool, this energy is converted into kinetic energy (K, 7000 J) and partially into thermal energy, Et. The final energy of the person, sum of kinetic energy and thermal energy, must be equal to the initial energy:
</span>U=K+E_t
<span>from which we can find the thermal energy:
</span>E_t = U-K=8000 J - 7000 J = 1000 J<span>

demonstrate in a brief paragraph how the search to explain planetary orbits exemplifies the scientific method and then use of mo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant velocity, is it in equilibrium? If a projectile is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s
Irina18 [472]

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant.  Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero.  Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM.  The required answer is: YES.

If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward.  There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity.  Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium.  Too bad.

Block A of 5 kg with a speed of 3 m/s collides with block B of 10 kg that is stationary. After the collision, block B travels wi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

-1m/s

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of block A after collision

According to collision theory:

MaVa+MbVb = MaVa+MbVb (after collision)

Substitute the given values

5(3)+10(0) = 5Va+10(2)

15+0 = 5Va + 20

5Va = 15-20

5Va = -5

Va = -5/5

Va = -1m/s

Hence the velocity of ball A after collision is -1m/s

Note that the velocity of block B is zero before collision since it is stationary

Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

v_m = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

v_M = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from
ElenaW [278]
When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation vf^{2}=0+2*a*s    where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}      
vf =134.164 (m/s)  

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}&#10; 
v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰P= \frac{v}{vf}=  \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707
