A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/

s. How much kinetic energy does the lion have? (4 points) b. If the lion runs up a hill to a height of 28 m, how much gravitational potential energy has the lion gained? (4 points) c. A fox with mass 1.8 kg is avoiding a lion by climbing into a tree. The fox climbs to a height of 3.8 m and jumps to another tree at a speed of 8.1 m/s. What is the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps? (3 points)

A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and \Delta h is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, \Delta h=28 m, so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J

Pavlova-9 [17]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Te compartimos las tres ideas que te pueden ayudar para hacer tu artículo.

Título:

La Educación Física, una prioridad para las escuelas.

Existe una frase milenaria que se le atribuye a los griegos que dice "Mente sana en cuerpo sano."

Y es muy cierta.

Las escuelas deberían considerar seriamente aumentar el número de horas semanales para la impartición de la educación física por las siguientes razones.

1.- La educación física es vital para el desarrollo físico del estudiante. Desde los grados más básicos, las escuelas deberían fortalecer la enseñanza de la educación física por motivos de salud, y dejar este buen hábito en los alumnos para toda la vida.

2.- La educación física, mejora el rendimiento académico ya que ayuda oxigenando los músculos, fortaleciendo el cerebro para que pueda concentrase mejor, despeja a los alumnos de tal forma que puedan regresar a los salones e clase más "despiertos."

3.- La educación física sirve para introducir la importancia de practicar deporte toda la vida, y hacerlo en la etapa escolar a través de equipos deportivos como el Futbol Americano, el beisbol, el basquetbol, el volibol, el soccer, y otros tantos.

Este idea del trabajo en equipo a través del deporte es muy importante para desarrollar habilidades como el liderazgo, el compromiso, la constancia y el superar la adversidad.

El profesor de educación física debe enseñarte la forma correcta de respirar cuando haces ejercicio, la importancia de la relajación del cuerpo para iniciar una actividad. El profesor debe hacer énfasis en la etapa del calentamiento y el estiramiento para preparar al cuerpo antes de realizar el ejercicio. Así como muchas otras enseñanzas.

Por esa razón, las escuelas deberían considerar seriamente la posibilidad de aumentar las horas de educación física por semana.

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11
