I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly

A helicopter (m = 3250 kg) is cruising at a speed of 56.9 m/s atan altitude of 185 m. What is the total mechanical energy of the

taurus [48]

Answer:

The mechanical energy of the helicopter is $1.12\times 10^7\ J$ .

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the helicopter, m = 3250 kg

Speed of the helicopter, v = 56.9 m/s

Position of the helicopter, h = 185 m

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called its kinetic energy. It is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3250\times (56.9)^2$

$E=5.26\times 10^6\ J$

The energy possessed by an object due to its position is called its potential energy. It is given by :

$E=mgh$

$E=3250\times 9.8\times 185$

$E=5.89\times 10^6\ J$

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy of the system. It is given by :

$M=5.26\times 10^6+5.89\times 10^6$

$M=11.15\times 10^6\ J$

$M=1.12\times 10^7\ J$

So, the mechanical energy of the helicopter is $1.12\times 10^7\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The length and width of a rectangular room are measured to be 3.92 ± 0.0035 m and 3.15 ± 0.0055 m. In this problem you can appro

Pavel [41]

Answer:

A) $A=12.2480\ m^2$

B) $12.2480\pm 0.1029\ m^2$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Length of the room $l= 3.92 ± 0.0035$

Width of the room $w= 3.15 ± 0.0055$

A) Let A be the area of the room

$A=l\times w\\A=3.92\times3.15\\A=12.2480\ \rm m^2$

B)We will calculate uncertainty in each dimension

%uncertainty in length $=\dfrac{0.0035}{3.92}\times 100=0.0892\ %$

%uncertainty in width = $\dfrac{0.0055}{3.15}\times 100=0.0174%$

The uncertainty in area will be sum of uncertainty in length and width

%uncertainty in Area= %uncertainty in length + %uncertainty in width

%uncertainty in Area $=0.0892\ % + 0.0174\ %$

%uncertainty in Area=0.0106

Uncertainty in Area $=0.0106\times 12.2480=0.1029\ \rm m^2$

There Area is $12.2480 ± 0.1029\ \rm m^2$

What is the force that opposes the movement of an object through water??

anastassius [24]

In air, you'd call it air resistance, pilots call it drag. In water, some call it
water resistance, or just plain drag.

Whatever it's called, it's the friction between the object and the fluid, plus
the force needed to push the fluid out of the way to let the object get through.

Which statement about homeostasis is true?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Homeostasis helps to maintain body equilibrium.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is defined as the maintenance of a fairly constant internal environment in an organism. Body fluids such as blood, lymph, and tissue fluids make up the internal environment of the body, hence by the action of the nervous and endocrine system, there levels are maintained at a body equilibrium, by the help of brain, which has overall control of homeostasis while other parts such as kidney, liver, skin, hormones are also involved.
