Answer:

V1 =8.1 m/s

Explanation:

height at highest point (h2) = 4.1 m

height at lowest point (h1) = 0.8 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

from conservation of energy, the total energy at the lowest point will be the same as the total energy at the highest point. therefore

mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2 + 0.5mV2^{2}

where

  • speed at highest point = V2
  • speed at lowest point = V1
  • mass of the girl and swing = m
  • at the highest point, the  speed is minimum (V1 = 0)
  • at the lowest point the speed is maximum (V2 is the maximum speed)
  • therefore the equation becomes mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2

      m(gh1 + 0.5V1^{2}) = m(gh2)

      gh1 + 0.5V1^{2} = gh2

      V1 = \sqrt{\frac{gh2 - gh1}{0.5}}

now we can substitute all required values into the equation above.

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{(9.8x4.1) - (9.8x0.8)}{0.5}}

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.5}}

V1 =8.1 m/s

vovangra [49]

Answer:

13 N

Explanation:

The Net Force of an object should be the difference between the forces applied to the object if the object is not in equilibrium. This object is not in equilibrium so therefore by finding the difference between the forces, you will find your answer. 20 N - 7 N = 13 N.

A ladder placed up against a wall is sliding down. The distance between the top of the ladder and the foot of the wall is decrea
Kitty [74]

Answer:

distance changing at rate of 3.94 inches/sec

Explanation:

Given data

wall decreasing at a rate = 9 inches per second

ladder L = 152 inches

distance  h = 61 inches

to find out

how fast is the distance changing

solution

we know that

h² + b² = L²   ..................1

h² + b² = 152²

Apply here derivative w.r.t. time

2h dh/dt + 2b db/dt = 0

h dh/dt + b db/dt = 0

db/dt = - h/b × dh/dt     .............2

and

we know

h = 61

so h² + b² = L²

61² + b² = 152²

b² = 19383

so b = 139.223

and we know dh/dt = -9 inch/sec

so from equation 2

db/dt = -61/139.223  (-9)

so

db/dt = 3.94 inches/sec

distance changing at rate of 3.94 inches/sec

_______ is the body or cells ability to seek and maintain equilibrium or stability in response to external changes.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Homeostasis is the body or cells ability to seek and maintain equilibrium or stability in response to external changes.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a process through which a cell or entire body of an organism tends to attain it's original state by countering any external environmental change to which it is exposed. In simple words we can define homeostasis as a regulatory mechanism which helps a cell/organism to maintain constant internal environment.

For example during summer season when external environment gets extremely hot and temperature rises up to 45-48 °C in such condition our body's internal temperature which is normally 37 °C gets affected and tends to rise so as to attain equilibrium with the external environment. But if the internal temperature will rise more than optimum temperature i.e. 37 °C then our body's machinery will cease to work and it will die out if temperature will keep on rising. In such scenario to avoid temperature rise our body will use homeostasis mechanism to counter the change. In order to do so we have sweat glands. Our sweat glands will start secreting sweat as a result of which the external heat rather than raising our body's temperature will be used to evaporate water present in the sweat and we will be able to protect our body from harmful external environment.
