A 64-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.4 m/s. The coefficient of friction betwe

en his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. (a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner

First you need to find total mechanical energy which is kinetic energy+potential energy, or (1/2mv^2+mgh). Since there is no height, we can pretty much ignore the potential energy and just calculate the kinetic.


1/2mv^2=1/2(64)(3.4)^2= 369.92J. Since it says the speed is 0 at the end of the run, we can assume that all the mechanical energy was lost. Therefore, 369.92 J of energy was lost

What was significant about the clay samples from the Western Hemisphere? How was the Alvarez hypothesis modified in response?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Either Answer you Put is fine i put one as an answer and the other is the sample response and got it right.

My Answer: rather than typical sea floor rock, which had been shocked, melted, and ejected to the surface in minutes, and evidence of colossal seawater movement directly afterwards from sand deposits. Crucially the cores also showed a near complete absence of gypsum, a sulfate-containing rock, which would have been vaporized and dispersed as an aerosol into the atmosphere, confirming the presence of a probable link between the impact and global longer-term effects on the climate and food chain.

Sample Response:

Samples from the Western Hemisphere contained significantly higher amounts of shock-fractured quartz. This led Walter and Luis Alvarez to hypothesize that the asteroid impact site was in the Western Hemisphere.

3. As the ice melts into liquid water, what happens to the kinetic energy of the particles in the sample?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

How does adding thermal energy change the intermolecular force between atoms or molecules in an object?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Weak intermolecular forces, low thermal energy. When an object such as liquid becomes a solid in form, this is sometimes caused by drop of heat, kinetic, energy in an object. And fast if there's weak molecular interaction.

Represent 7468 N with SI units having an appropriate prefix. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the app
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

7.468 kN

Explanation:

Here the force of 7468 Newton is given.

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

kilo = 10³

Mega = 10⁶

Giga = 10⁹

The number is 7468.0

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is kilo

1 kilonewton = 1000 Newton

1\ Newton=\frac{1}{1000}\ kilonewton

\\\Rightarrow 7468\ Newton=\frac{7468}{1000}\ kilonewton\\ =7.468\ kilonewton

So 7468 N = 7.468 kN
