Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters
Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds
Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)
Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
Answer:
The force required to move the quarterback with linebacker is <u>1215 N</u>
Explanation:



Using Newton's second law, it is established that F = Ma
Where F is net force acting on the system, a is the acceleration and M is mass of the two object 
Now consider both
as a system, so net force acting on the system is 
Substitute the given values in the above formula,


Force = 1215 N
<u>1215 N </u>is the force required to move the quarterback with linebacker.
<u>Answer </u>
A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water
<u>Explanation</u>
James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.
The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.
From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
Answer:
<em>60008.4 J</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The mass of each kid = 30 kg
mass of the cart = 20 kg
The speed of the cart down the hill = 30 km/hr = 30 x 1000/3600 = 8.33 m/s
The height of the hill = 80 m
The potential energy of the boys at the top of the hill = mgh
where
m is the total mass of the kids and the cart = (30 x 2) + 20 = 80 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
h is their height above the ground = 80 m (on the top of the hill)
substituting, we have
potential energy PE = 80 x 9.81 x 80 = 62784 J
At an instance at the bottom of the hill
their kinetic energy = 
where
v is their velocity = 8.33 m/s
m is their total mass = 80 kg
substituting, we have
kinetic energy KE =
= 2775.6 J
Total work done on the cart is equal to the energy lost by the cart when it reached the bottom of the hill
work done by friction = PE - KE = 62784 - 2775.6 = <em>60008.4 J</em>
