After coming down a slope, a 60-kg skier is coasting northward on a level, snowy surface at a constant 15 m>s. Her 5.0-kg cat

, initially running southward at 3.8 m>s, leaps into her arms, and she catches it. (a) Determine the amount of kinetic energy converted to internal energy in the Earth reference frame. (b) What is the velocity, measured in the Earth reference frame, of an inertial reference frame in which the cat’s kinetic energy does not change?

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.

They are expressed as,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_1= mass of the skier

m_2= mass of the cat

v_1 = initial velocity of skier

v_2 = initial velocity of cat

v_f= final velocity of both

Re-arrange to find V_f we have,

V_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V_f = \frac{(60)(15)+(5)(-3.8)}{(60+5)}

V_f = 13.55m/s

Once the final velocity is found it is possible to calculate the change in kinetic energy, so

\Delta KE = KE_i-KE_f

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v^2_2)-\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}((60)(15)^2+(5)(-3.8)^2)-\frac{1}{2}(60+5)(13.55)^2

\Delta KE = 819.1J

Therefore the amount of kinetic energy converted in to internal energy is 819J

Ty has two pet mice. One mouse has the gene for black fur color and the other mouse has the gene for white fur color. The female
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Ty has two pet mice. One mouse has the gene for black fur color and the other mouse has the gene for white fur color. The female mouse is pregnant now, and Ty wonders what color or colors the baby mice will be. Read each offspring description phrase below and select the correct pattern of dominance for each.

___ all white fur offspring, white fur in this case is dominant

___ all gray fur offspring, this is incomplete dominant.

___ all black fur offspring, this is black fur dominantice

___ all black and white offspring, this is codominance .

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance: Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism's resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. It is also called semi-dominance or partial dominance.

Codominance: Codominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

LOTS OF POINTSA rocket of mass 40 000 kg takes off and flies to a height of 2.5 km as its engines produce 500 000 N of thrust.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

i) E = 269 [MJ]    ii)v = 116 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.

In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.

i)

E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\where:\\E_{k1}= kinetic energy at moment 1\\W_{1-2}= work between moments 1 and 2.\\E_{k2}= kinetic energy at moment 2.

W_{1-2}= (F*d) - (m*g*h)\\W_{1-2}=(500000*2.5*10^3)-(40000*9.81*2.5*10^3)\\W_{1-2}= 269*10^6[J] or 269 [MJ]

At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.

Er = 269*10^6[J]

ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.

E_{k2}=0.5*m*v^2\\269*10^6=0.5*40000*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{269*10^6}{0.5*40000} }\\ v=116[m/s]
