In some amazing situations, people have survived falling large distances when the surface they land on is soft enough. During a

traverse of Eiger's infamous Nordvand, mountaineer Carlos Ragone's rock anchor gave way and he plummeted 515 feet to land in snow. Amazingly, he suffered only a few bruises and a wrenched shoulder. Assuming that his impact left a hole in the snow 3.5 ft deep, estimate his average acceleration as he slowed to a stop (that is while he was impacting the snow). Pick a coordinate system where down is positive.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

  a = 0.701 m / s²

Explanation:

As the game is spinning the acceleration is centripetal

           a = v² /r

The park system after a small period of acceleration goes at a constant speed, for which we can use the relations of the uniform motion

           v = d / t

the distance of a circle is

           d = 2π r

we substitute

          a = (2π r / t) ² / r

          a = 4 pi² r / t²

           

let's calculate

          a = 4 pi² 12 / 26²

          a = 0.701 m / s²

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded
Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
