The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m

/s. When she is directly above the bar, her speed is 1.6 m/s. Neglecting air resistance and any energy absorbed by the pole, determine the amount(in m) she has raised herself as she crosses the bar.

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H  (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m

Explain how it is that you could have 2 parents with brown eyes, but you have blue eyes. Talk about the role chromosomes, genoty
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

If both parents had a recessive allele for blue eyes and they had a brown phenotype it is completely possible for the child to have blue eyes.

Explanation:

Chromosomes play the role of transfering the encoded strands of DNA to the child. Genotypes are the traits or groups of traits transferred and need to carry the trait of blue eyes in order for the child to have them. As long as the parents had a recessive allele for blue eyes they could have a blue eyed child.

The national high magnetic field laboratory holds the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. for brief periods
max2010maxim [7]

Newton’s 2nd law states that Force is equal to the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F = m a                                  ---> 1

While in magnetic forces, force can also be expressed as:

F = q v B                               ---> 2

where,

q = total charge

v = velocity = 45 cm / s = 0.45 m / s

B = the magnetic field = 85 T

First we solve for the total charge, q:

q = 3.8 × 10^-23 g (1 mol / 23 g) (6.022 × 10^23 electrons / mol) (1.602 × 10^-19 C / electron)

q = 1.594 × 10^-19 C

 

We equate equations 1 and 2 then solve for acceleration a:

m a = q v B

a = q v B / m

a = [1.594 × 10^-19 C * 0.45 m / s * 85 T] / 3.8 × 10-26 kg

a = 160,437,862.2 m/s^2

 

Therefore the maximum acceleration of Na ions is about 160 × 10^6 m/s^2.

MrRa [10]

Yes, our friend is right, because there is no contradiction to the law of conservation of mass in the above equation. It just the mass of the product is equal to the mass of reactants.. and that is shown in the equation you have presented earlier
