A ring is attached at the center of the underside of a trampoline. A sneaky teenager crawls under the trampoline and uses the ri

ng to pull the trampoline slowly down while his 79-kg mother is sleeping on it. When he releases the trampoline, she is launched upward. As she passes through the position at which she was before her son stretched the trampoline, her speed is 2.5 m/s .

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Mass of mother m=79\ kg

Mother is released with a speed of v=2.5\ m/s

Assuming we need to find elastic Potential energy stored in Trampoline

Kinetic energy acquired  by Mother comes from Elastic Potential Energy stored in the spring

I.e. Elastic Potential Energy=Kinetic Energy of mother

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

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 79\times 2.5^2=246.875\ J

So 246.875 J of Energy is stored in the trampoline as he pull the ring

When Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun during June, some would argue that the cause of our seasons is that th
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Distance of Earth from the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons only the tilt is responsible for the change in seasons.

Explanation:

The Earth's tilt does cause the seasons but the distance from the sun and has nothing to do with the change in seasons. In June, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer the Earth is actually farthest from the Sun. In January, when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere winter the Earth is actually closest to the Sun. This is caused due to the elliptical orbit of the Earth. So, distance of Earth from the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons.

Mr. White claims that he invented a heat engine with a maximum efficiency of 90%. He measured the temperature of the hot reservo
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The error he made was that he didn't convert the unit of temperature to Kelvin.

The correct efficiency is 24%

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Temperature of hot reservoir = 100°C = 373 K

Temperature of cold reservoir = 10°C = 273 K

The efficiency of a heat engine is given as:

E = 1 - (Qc/Qh) = 1 - (Tc/Th)

Where

Qc = Output heat;

Qh = Input heat;

Tc = Temperature of the cold reservoir;

Th = Temperature of the hot reservoir.

=> E = 1 - (283/373)

E = 1 - 0.76

E = 0.24

In percentage,

E = 0.24 * 100 = 24%

Hence, the efficiency of the engine is actually 24%.

The error he made was that he didn't convert the temperature to Kelvin. If we leave the temperatures in °C, we have that:

E = 1 - (10/100)

E = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

In percentage,

E = 0.9 * 100 = 90%
