Answer:

a. \displaystyle k_o=1350\ J

b. \displaystyle k_1=0\ J

c. \Delta k=-1350\ J

d. W=-1350\ J

e. F=-675\ N

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

When an object moves at a certain velocity v0 and changes it to v1, a change in its kinetic energy is achieved:

\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Knowing that

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle \Delta k=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The work done by the force who caused the change of velocity (acceleration) is

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

If we know the distance x traveled by the object, the work can also be calculated by

W=F.x

Being F the force responsible for the change of velocity

The 75 kg baseball player has an initial velocity of 6 m/s, then he slides and stops

a. Before the slide, his initial kinetic energy is

\displaystyle k_o=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

\displaystyle k_o=\frac{(75)6^2}{2}

\boxed{\displaystyle k_o=1350\ J}

b. Once he reaches the base, the player is at rest, thus his final kinetic energy is

\displaystyle k_1=\frac{(75)0^2}{2}

\boxed{\displaystyle k_1=0\ J}

c. The change of kinetic energy is

\Delta k=k_1-k_0=0\ J-1350\ J

\boxed{\Delta k=-1350\ J}

d. The work done by friction to stop the player is

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

\boxed{W=-1350\ J}

e. We compute the force of friction by using

W=F.x

and solving for x

\displaystyle F=\frac{W}{x}

\displaystyle F=\frac{-1350\ J}{2\ m}

\boxed{F=-675\ N}

The negative sign indicates the force is against movement

A single reflection, like shouting at the side of a mountain and hearing
your voice come back to you, is an 'echo'.

Multiple reflection, like clapping your hands once inside a large room,
is 'reverberation'.

Answer:

n musical notation, stems are the, "thin, vertical lines that are directly connected to the [note] head." Stems may point up or down. ... There is an exception to this rule: if a chord contains a second, the stem runs between the two notes with the higher being placed on the right of the stem and the lower on the left.

A train travels 70 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 63 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed?
lozanna [386]
The answer is:  " 44 \frac{1}{3} km " ; 
                              or; write as:  " 44.333 km " .
___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________________
(70 km + 63 km) ÷ (2 + 1 ) =  133 km ÷ 3 =  " 44 \frac{1}{3} km "  ; 
                                                                            or; write as:  " 44.333 km " .

determine the maximum angle theta for which the light rays incident on the end of the optical fiber of radius 1 mm are subhect t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.
