A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force)

acts on her. The student has a mass of 74.0 kg, and the height of the water slide is 11.3 m. If the kinetic frictional force does -5.42 × 103 J of work, how fast is the student going at the bottom of the slide?

Answer:

The student is going at the bottom of the slide with a velocity of 8.66 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the student, m = 74 kg

height of the water slide, h = 11.3 m

work done, W = -5.42 × 10³ J

Apply work energy theorem;

W = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+ mgh_f-(\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2 + mgh_o)\\\\  W + \frac{1}{2}mv_o^2 + mgh_o -mgh_f= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2\\\\  W + \frac{1}{2}mv_o^2 +mg(h_o-h_f) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2\\\\\frac{W}{m} + \frac{1}{2} v_o^2 + g(h_o-h_f) =  \frac{1}{2}v_f^2\\\\\frac{2W}{m}+ v_o^2 + 2g(h_o-h_f) = v_f^2\\\\v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}+ v_o^2 - 2g(h_f-h_o)} \\\\v_f =  \sqrt{\frac{2(-5.42*10^3)}{74}+ (0)^2 - 2*9.8(-11.3)}\\\\v_f=\sqrt{-146.4865+221.48} \\\\v_f = \sqrt{74.9935} \\\\v_f = 8.66 \ m/s

Therefore, the student is going at the bottom of the slide with a velocity of 8.66 m/s

What is a procedure that could be used to separate a mixture f sugar, black pepper, and pebbles?
Virty [35]
Dissolving can separate the three. Because pepper doesn't mix with water and neither do pebbles.

A mixture of helium and argon gas is expanded from a volume of 29.0L to a volume of 82.0L, while the pressure is held constant a
finlep [7]

Answer:

322 kJ

Explanation:

The work is the energy that a force produces when realizes a displacement. So, for a gas, it occurs when it expands or when it compress.

When the gas expands it realizes work, so the work is positive, when it compress, it's suffering work, so the work is negative.

For a constant pressure, the work can be calcutated by:

W = pxΔV, where W is the work, p is the pressure, and ΔV is the volume variation. To find the work in Joules, the pressure must be in Pascal (1 atm = 101325 Pa), and the volume in m³ (1 L = 0.001 m³), so:

p = 60 atm = 6.08x10⁶ Pa

ΔV = 82.0 - 29.0 = 53 L = 0.053 m³

W = 6.08x10⁶x0.053

W = 322x10³ J

W = 322 kJ

While John is traveling along a straight interstate highway, he notices that the mile marker reads 249 km. John travels until he
erastova [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement can be displayed as a vector, this because it has magnitud and direction. Because of this, we can think John's Resultant Displacement as the join of this two vectors.

The First Vector is from the 249 Km Marker to the 141 Km Marker, which give us a Vector with a Magnitude equals to 108 Km.

The Second Vector goes from 141 Km Marker to the 174 Km Marker, which give us a Vector with a Magnitude equals to 33 Km.

However is important to know the direction for each Vector, we notice that John was traveling on one direction and then he returned. This makes our Vector to have a different direction, and this means difference signs. Difference signs means substraction. So, the Third Vector will be:

Third Vector = 108 Km - 33 Km

Third Vector = 75 Km

1).which of the following describes the interaction between a south pole and a north pole of a magnet
kumpel [21]

1) a) attract

The magnetic force between two magnetic poles is attractive for two unlike poles and repulsive for two like poles. Therefore we have:

1- For two north poles, the force between them is repulsive

2- For two south poles, the force between them is repulsive

3- For a north pole and a south pole, the force between them is attractive

In this problem, we are in the situation described in 3), so the force between the poles is attractive.

2) a) motion of electrons

While electric fields are produced by static electric charges, magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion (currents). In particular, a current in a wire (where a current is simply the motion of electrons inside the wire) produces a magnetic field whose intensity is

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

I is the current in the wire

r is the radial distance from the wire

And the direction of the field lines are such that the field form concentric circles around the wire.
