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

Consider the space between a point charge and the surface of a neutral spherical conducting shell. If the charge sits at the cen
Furkat [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If a thin, spherical, conducting shell carries a negative charge, We expect the excess electrons to mutually repel one another, and, thereby, become uniformly distributed over the surface of the shell. The electric field-lines produced outside such a charge distribution point towards the surface of the conductor, and end on the excess electrons. Moreover, the field-lines are normal to the surface of the conductor. This must be the case, otherwise the electric field would have a component parallel to the conducting surface. Since the excess electrons are free to move through the conductor, any parallel component of the field would cause a redistribution of the charges on the shell. This process will only cease when the parallel component has been reduced to zero over the whole surface of the shell

According to Gauss law

∅ = EA =-Q/∈₀

Where ∅  is the electric flux through the gaussian surface and E is the electric field strength

If the gaussian surface encloses no charge, since all of the charge lies on the shell, so it follows from Gauss' law, and symmetry, that the electric field inside the shell is zero. In fact, the electric field inside any closed hollow conductor is zero

Post Test: Forces and Motion
Len [333]

Answer: B to C

Explanation: The line is curving inwards, practically calculating the stance that it had went down. If it went straight across, it stayed the same till a specific point, furthermore calculating the bent line bending upwards is actually a partial-raise, conclude points B to C is most likely an un-even balance, meaning it had went down; or decreasing. B to C is the decreasing segment of this equation/problem (question).

Which of the following is responsible for keeping objects on the ground?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Gravity. It is the pull we feel. Neither motion could happen nor mass could keep us on the ground without the existence of gravity.
