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.

(a) What change occurs in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide? (b) What is the kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground? (c) What is the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear?

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

A shopper is pushing a cart down a grocery store aisle. Starting from rest, the shopper applies a constant force to the cart for
inysia [295]

A shopping cart that starts from rest, is accelerated for 4 s, moves at constant velocity for 4 s, and is decelerated for 4s until returning to rest, has an average acceleration of 0 m/s².

A shopper is pushing a cart down a grocery store aisle. The movement of the cart is:

  • It starts from rest.
  • From t = 0 s to t = 4.0 s it is accelerated with a constant force.
  • From t = 4 s to t = 8.0 s it receives just enough force to balance the friction on the cart.
  • From t = 8 s to t = 12 s it is decelerated until it comes to rest.

All in all, at the initial time (t = 0 s), the velocity is 0 m/s (rest) and at the final time (t = 12 s) the velocity is 0 m/s as well (rest). The average acceleration in that period is:

a = \frac{v_{12}-v__o}{t_{12}-t_0} = \frac{0m/m-0m/s}{12s-0s}  = 0 m/s^{2}

Llana [10]

Complete question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The velocity is  v = c* \sqrt{1 -  \frac{1}{n^2} }

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

           a = nb

The length of the minor axis  of  the symbol of the Federation, a circle, seen by the observer at velocity v must be equal to the minor axis(b) of the  Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

Now this length seen by the observer can be mathematically represented as

        h = t \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Here t  is the actual length of the major axis of of the  Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

So t = a = nb

and  b is the length of the minor axis of the symbol of the Federation, (a circle) when seen by an observer at velocity v which from the question must be the length of the minor axis of the of the  Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

 i.e    h = b

So

    b  =  nb  [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]  

     [\frac{1}{n} ]^2 =  1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2}

      v^2 =c^2 [1- \frac{1}{n^2} ]

       v^2 =c^2 [\frac{n^2 -1}{n^2} ]

        v = c* \sqrt{1 -  \frac{1}{n^2} }

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1
