Answer:

Plant based fuels comes form renewable source, can be grown anywhere and have lower carbon emissions as compared to fossil fuels. Bio fuels not only help a struggling economy by providing jobs but also helps in reducing greenhouse gases up to much extent by emitting less pollution.

A 75 kg baseball player runs at a velocity of 6 m/s before sliding to a stop at second base. a. What is the kinetic energy of th

lana [24]

Answer:

a. $\displaystyle k_o=1350\ J$

b. $\displaystyle k_1=0\ J$

c. $\Delta k=-1350\ J$

d. $W=-1350\ J$

e. $F=-675\ N$

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

When an object moves at a certain velocity v0 and changes it to v1, a change in its kinetic energy is achieved:

$\Delta k=k_1-k_0$

Knowing that

$\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

We have

$\displaystyle \Delta k=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

The work done by the force who caused the change of velocity (acceleration) is

$\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

If we know the distance x traveled by the object, the work can also be calculated by

$W=F.x$

Being F the force responsible for the change of velocity

The 75 kg baseball player has an initial velocity of 6 m/s, then he slides and stops

a. Before the slide, his initial kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle k_o=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle k_o=\frac{(75)6^2}{2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle k_o=1350\ J}$

b. Once he reaches the base, the player is at rest, thus his final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle k_1=\frac{(75)0^2}{2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle k_1=0\ J}$

c. The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta k=k_1-k_0=0\ J-1350\ J$

$\boxed{\Delta k=-1350\ J}$

d. The work done by friction to stop the player is

$W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0$

$\boxed{W=-1350\ J}$

e. We compute the force of friction by using

$W=F.x$

and solving for x

$\displaystyle F=\frac{W}{x}$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{-1350\ J}{2\ m}$

$\boxed{F=-675\ N}$

The negative sign indicates the force is against movement

Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: His average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

We know that , speed = $\dfrac{distance}{time}$

Here , distance = 400m and time = 51.9 s

Then, speed = $\dfrac{400}{51.9}\approx7.7\ m/s$

Hence, his average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

A student wants to determine the coefficient of static friction μ between a block of wood and an adjustable inclined plane. Of t

Cloud [144]

Answer:

A protractor to measure the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal

Explanation:

The student needs to lift the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object barely starts sliding, and measure the angle at which such happens. At that point, the force of friction equals the component of the weight in the direction of the incline. That is:

$f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)$

and $w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)$

Then

$f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)$

and therefore, the coefficient of static friction is fully determined just by calculating the tangent of the angle that the incline forms with the horizontal.

Then the only extra instrument needed is a protractor to measure the angle.
