A 49 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.3 m/s just before hitting the ground.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) \Delta U_g=-5.3kJ

b) K=0.27kJ

c) F_f=0.45kN

Explanation:

the gravitational potential energy is given by:

U_g=m.g.h\\

\Delta U_g=m.g.h_f-m.g.h_i\\\Delta U_g=49kg*9.8m/s^2*(0m-11m)\\\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2\\

the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:

K=\frac{1}{2}*49kg*(3.3m/s^2)^2\\K=0.27kJ

applying the conservation of energy theorem:

U_g-W_f=K_f\\W_f=-(\Delta K+\Delta U)\\W_F=5.3kJ-0.27kJ\\W_F=-5.0kJ

The work done by the friction force is given by:

W_f=F_f.h.cos(\theta)\\

the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:

F_f=\frac{W_f}{h.cos(\theta)}\\\\F_f=\frac{-5.0kJ}{11m.cos(180^o)}\\\\F_f=0.45kN

What is the difference between Weight and Mass?<br>Please give a fair amount of detail!
Sidana [21]
The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of.  So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color.  It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..

The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else.  The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are.  So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.

I think that sums it up fairly well.
