The drawing below shows a person who, starting from rest at the top of a cliff, swings down at the end of a rope, releases it, a

nd falls into the water below. There are two paths by which the person can enter the water. Suppose he enters the water at a speed of 16.5 m/s via path 1. How fast is he moving on path 2 when he releases the rope at a height of 3.55 m above the water? Ignore the effects of air resistance.

Answer:

v = 14.23 m/s

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we can say that during path 1. his initial total mechanical energy must be equal to final total mechanical energy

So we will have

mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

m(9.81)(H) = \frac{1}{2}m(16.5)^2

H = 13.88 m

Now while he is moving on path 2. then again we can use energy conservation to find the speed

mg(H - y) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

m(9.81)(13.88 - 3.55) = \frac{1}{2}m v^2

v = 14.23 m/s

Why would an egg break immediately when it hits the ground?
Elza [17]

As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

Many biological systems are well-described by the laws of statistical physics. A simple yet often powerful approach is to think
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

z1/z2

Explanation:

we have no quantum effects therefore we can make use of Maxwell Boltzmann distribution in the description of this system.

using the boltzman distribution the probability of finding a particle in energy state

P_{ei}  = \frac{gie^{-ei/kol} }{z}

we have

gi to be degeneration of the ith state

ei to be energy of ith state

z=e^{-ei/kbt} summation

P_{ope} = \frac{e^{-ei/kBt} }{z} = \frac{Z_{1} }{Z}

We have R to be equal to

\frac{P_{ope} }{P_{Close} } = \frac{Z1}{Z2}

The following are the Earth–Sun distance at the equinoxes and solstices: March equinox 149.0 million km June solstice 152.0 mill
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

During <u>winter (late December/early January)</u> the Earth is closest to the Sun and during <u>summer (late June/early July)</u> the Earth is farthest from the Sun.

Explanation:

In the northern hemisphere, the earth usually comes closer to the sun during the time of winter season, mostly in late December or early January.

On the other hand, the earth is farthest from the sun during the time of summer season, mostly in late June or early July.

When the earth is closer to the sun, during the winter, it is comparatively cold. It is due to the absorption of a lesser amount of incoming solar radiation. The tilt of the earth is also responsible for this low temperature.

But, when the earth is farthest from the sun, during the summer, it is comparatively hot. It is due to the absorption of a large amount of incoming solar radiation.

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s^2

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates=\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35

Force by which box accelerates=62.286 N

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

ma=\mu mg

a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide=1.9796 m/s^2
