Answer:

(A) -2940 J

(B) 392 J

(C) 212.33 N

Explanation:

mass of bear (m) = 25 kg

height of the pole (h) = 12 m

speed (v) = 5.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

(A) change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = mg(height at the bottom- height at the top)

height at the bottom = 0

         = 25 x 9.8 x (0-12) = -2940 J

(B) kinetic energy of the Bear (KE) = 0.5mv^{2}

           = 0.5 x 25 x 5.6^{2}  = 392 J

(C) average frictional force = \frac{change in thermal energy}{height} = \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}

  • change in KE (ΔKE) = initial KE - final KE
  • ΔKE = 0.5mv^{2} - 0.5mvf^{2}            
  • when the Bear reaches the bottom of the pole, the final velocity (Vf) is 0, therefore the change in kinetic energy becomes  ΔKE = 0.5x25x5.6^{2} - 0 = 392 J

 \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}[/tex] = \frac{-(392 + (-2940))}{12}

=  \frac{(-392 + 2940)}{12} = 212.33 N

a car moving on a road passes by kilometer 218 at 10:15 am and milestone 236 at 10:30 am. determine an average scalar speed in k
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

v?

Explanation:

v = ∆s / ∆t

v =?

∆s = 236 - 218 = 18km

=t = 10: 30 - 10:15 = 15 minutes to hour 15/60 = 0.25h

v = 18 / 0.25

v = 72km / h

speed of 72km / h

Find your acceleration from 8.3 m/s to 12.5 m/s in 1.24 seconds.
balu736 [363]

The <u>average</u> acceleration for an object undergoing this change in velocity is

(12.5 m/s - 8.3 m/s) / (1.24 s) = (4.2 m/s) / (1.24 s) ≈ 3.4 m/s²

The density of gold is 19.3. G/cm(3). If a nugget of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g, what can you concl
tangare [24]
The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.

I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)

50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906
