Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides

back down to ground level on a frictionless slide. The other freely drops down from the tower. Both children start their trips back down to the ground with an initial speed of zero.
Which combination of statements below is most accurate? [Enter your answer as a string of the letter options you believe are correct. For instance, if you think options A, D, and E are correct, then enter "ADE"]

A) The work done by gravity on each child is positive as they climb the tower.
B) The children have different kinetic energies on reaching ground level
C) The work done by gravity on both children is negative as they descend from the tower.
D) The overall work done by gravity is zero.
E) None of the above

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) The overall work done by gravity is zero  

This statement is correct .

If m be the mass of each of the children and h be the height of tower

work done by gravity on the boys in going up = - mgh

it is so because force applied by gravity = mg downwards and displacement

is upwards

work done will be negative = - mgh

Work done by gravity on boys when they come down = + mgh because both force and displacement are downwards .

Hence total work done = - mgh + mgh = 0.

The children will have same kinetic energy as the inclined surface is friction-less so no energy will be dissipated hence addition of energy to boys in both the cases will be same.

A planned high-speed train between Houston and Dallas will travel a distance of 386 kilometers in 5.40 × 10^3 seconds. What is t
Mazyrski [523]

¡Hellow!

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:

5,4x10³\rightarrow 5400

h = sec / 3600

h = 5400 s / 3600

h = 1,5

Let's recabe information:

d (Distance) = 386 km

t (Time) = 1,5 h

v (Velocity) = ?

For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:

                                                    \boxed{\boxed{\textbf{d = v * t} } }

Reeplace according we information:

386 km = v * 1,5 h

v = 386 km / 1,5 h

v = 257,33 km/h

The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

<u></u>

Extra:

For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:

m/s = km/h / 3,6

Let's reeplace:

m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6

m/s = 71,48

¿Good Luck?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.

Which of the diagrams below illustrates sound waves generated by a siren
stepladder [879]

Diagram D. shows the sound waves generated by a siren

that is moving with constant speed to the left.

A sound wave is the sample of disturbance caused by the movement of strength journeying thru a medium because it propagates far away from the supply of the sound. Sound waves are created by using object vibrations and bring strain waves, for example, a ringing cellular phone.

Sound waves fall into three classes: longitudinal waves, mechanical waves, and strain waves. keep studying to find out what qualifies them as such. Longitudinal Sound Waves A longitudinal wave is a wave wherein the movement of the medium's debris is parallel to the course of the energy transport. Sound propagates via air or different mediums as a longitudinal wave, in which the mechanical vibration constituting the wave occurs along the direction of propagation of the wave.
