Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

A. A ball dropped from a heigh hits the ground with a high speed: This event does not produce any economic benefit.

B. The collision produced in a nuclear reaction heat up the surroundings: This process describes a heat transfer, which is used in nuclear reactors to produce energy, which translates into economic benefits.

C. An plane increases its air speed from 150 mi/hr to 200 mi/hr: In this case, the consumption of extra gasoline to increase the speed of the plane produces a loss of money.

D. The electricity from the power socket causes the fan to turn: Using an electrical appliance consumes current, which must be paid for and produces a waste of money.

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

v (ave) = ∆x / ∆t

and under constant acceleration,

v (ave) = (v (final) + v (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆t = 4.0 s, we have v (initial) = 0 and v (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆x / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆x = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆x = 20.00 m

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m

Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,

polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so $v\neq 0$ , therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, $h\neq 0$ , therefore he has potential energy

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

$E=PE+KE$

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as $h$ decreases, the potential energy decreases too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.
