A 40 kg bear slides, from rest, 14 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.7 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:

Explanation:

(a) Here, we have to take into account the earth's radius and the value of the Cavendish constant

E_{p1}-E_{p2}=G\frac{m_{b}m_{e}}{r'}-G\frac{m_{b}m_{e}}{r}=\\6.67*10^{-11}\frac{Nm^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{40kg*5.9*10^{24}kg}{6371*10^{3}m}-6.67*10^{-11}\frac{Nm^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{40kg*5.9*10^{24}kg}{6371*10^{3}m+14m}=\\0.37J

The change is very low due to we consider the radius of the earth as the distance to the center of mass of the earth

(b). E_{k}=\frac{mv^{2}}{2}=\frac{(40kg)(3.7m/s)^{2}}{2}=273.8J

(c). Is the force produced principally by the tree

F_{f}=-\mu N

I hope this is usefull for you

Answer:

A. -5488J

B. 273.8J

C. 372.44N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 40kg

h = 14 m

v= 3.7 m/s

Part(a)

The change in the potential energy of the bear Earth system during the slide

AU = -mgh = -40(9.8) (14) = -5488 J

Part(b)

The kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground is

Ks 1/2 mV^2= (40)(3.7)2 = 547.6 /2 = 273.8J

Part(c)

The change in the thermal energy of the system due to friction is

AEth = fxh=-(AK +AU) = 5488– 273.8 = 5214.2 J

The average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear is

F = Eth / 14= 5214.2/14 =372.44N

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.

                         

Explanation:

We can find the distance with the following equation since the acceleration is cero (the disk rotates at a constant rate):

d = v*t

Where:

v: is the tangential speed of the disk

t: is the time = 30 s  

The tangential speed can be found as follows:

v = \omega*r

Where:

ω: is the angular speed = 100 rpm

r: is the radius = 50 cm = 0.50 m

v = \omega*r = 100 \frac{rev}{min}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}*\frac{1 min}{60 s}*0.50 m = 5.24 m/s    

Now, the distance traveled by the disk is:

d = v*t = 5.24 m/s*30 s = 157.2 m

Therefore, a point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.

I hope it helps you!

Consider the accuracy of recording muscle electrical activity using electrodes placed on the skin surface, compared to directly
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: The common difference between surface EMG and intramuscular EMG is that that former is non-invasive while the later is an invasive method

Explanation:

Electromyography (EMG) is used clinically for the examination of muscle excitations (muscle electrical activity) in both normal or abnormal conditions. There are two forms of EMG includes:

--> Surface EMT and

--> Intramuscular EMT

Surface EMT is a non invasive method of examination of muscle excitations for superficial and easily accessible muscles.

Intramuscular EMT is the invasive method of examination of muscle excitations usually for deep muscles.

The difference between the two forms of EMT includes:

- surface EMT is non- invasive while intramuscular EMT is invasive

- surface EMT is used to access superficial muscle while intramuscular EMT is used to access deep muscles.

- surface EMT requires less skill and time to carry out while intramuscular EMT requires special skills and takes more time while carrying out the procedure.

A sound wave, generated at a frequency of 440 hertz has a wavelength of 2.3 meters as it travels through a solid material. The a
Jlenok [28]

The approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.

<h3>Wavelength, Frequency and Speed</h3>

Wavelength is simply the distance over which the shapes of waves are repeated. It is the spatial period of a periodic wave.

From the wavelength, frequency and speed relation,

λ = v ÷ f

Where λ is wavelength, v is velocity/speed and f is frequency.

Given the data in the question;

  • Frequency of sound wave f = 440Hz = 440s⁻¹
  • Wavelength of the wave λ = 2.3m
  • Speed of the wave v = ?

To determine the approximate speed of the wave, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

λ = v ÷ f

2.3m = v ÷ 440s⁻¹

v = 2.3m × 440s⁻¹

v = 1012ms⁻¹

v = 1012m/s

Therefore, the approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.
