Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

At which position is the LOWEST potential energy?
Ad libitum [116K]
The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.

Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.

A 15.0-kg child descends a slide 2.40 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 1.10 m/s .
pickupchik [31]

The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.

<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>

Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;

KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J

PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *  2.40 m = 352.8 J

The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

A child whose weight is 235 N slides down a 4.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. The coeffi
Basile [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) First, let's calculate the value of the Friction force, which is given by the formula:

Ff = u*W

As the Friction force has an X component, it would be:

Ff = u*m*g*cosФ

Where m*g is the weight of the child.

Solving for Ff:

Ff = 0.051 * 235cos37 = 9.57 N

Now, to get the energy transferred to thermal energy (or heat) we need to get the Work done, so:

Wf = Ff * d

Wf = 9.57 * 4.9 = 46.9 J

b) We need to get the downslope component of the child weight, which is:

Wy = 235sin37 = 141.43 N

As you can imagine, the gravity also does work, so:

Wg = Wy * d

Wg = 141.43 * 4.9 = 693 J

Now, let's get the kinetic energy, which can be obtained by this expression:

ΔKe = Wg - Wf

ΔKe = 693 - 46.9 = 646.1 J

The formula for kinetic energy is:

Ke = 1/2 m*V^2

We have the innitial speed which is 0.355 m/s, and the mass can be obtained by m*g so:

Fw= m*g ----> m = Fw/g

m = 235 / 9.8 = 23.97 kg

so the innitial energy is:

Ke = 1/2 * 23.97 * (0.355)^2

Ke = 1.51 J

This could be Ke1, so to get Ke2:

ΔKe = Ke2 - Ke1

Ke2 = Δke + Ke1

Ke2 = 646.1 + 1.51 = 647,61 J

Finally, the speed at the bottom would be:

v = √2Ke/m

v = √2*647.61/23.97

v = 7.35 m/s

An airplane is flying at a speed of 45 m/s when it drops a 40 kg food package to the Polar exploration team. If the plane drops
Alina [70]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation, so the potential energy in the package must be equivalent to its kinetic energy. From there we will find the speed of the package in the vertical component. The horizontal component is given, as it is the same as the one the plane is traveling to. Vectorially we will end up finding its magnitude. So,

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity

v = \sqrt{2gh}

Replacing,

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(120)}

v = 48.49m/s

Using the vector properties the magnitude of the velocity vector would be given by,

|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

|V| = \sqrt{45^2+48.42^2}

|V| = 66.2m/s

Therefore the package is moving to 66.2m/s
