Answer:

The work done by friction is 456 kJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Bob, m = 88 kg

After falling for 1 km, he is moving downward at 96 m/s. It is required to find the work done by friction over this distance. It can be calculated using work energy theorem as :

mgh+W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-mgh\\\\W=m(\dfrac{1}{2}v^2-gh)\\\\W=88\times (\dfrac{1}{2}\times (96)^2-9.8\times 1000)\\\\W=-456896\ J\\\\W=-456\ kJ

So, the work done by friction is 456 kJ. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?
Strike441 [17]

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2

What is the difference between continuous and a discontinuous spectrum?
aleksklad [387]
A continuous spectrum contains all the wavelengths 

A discontinuous spectrum has strips of specific colors and can be used to identify the elements making it.
