Bridget is riding her bicycle up a hill. Which statements are correct? Check all that apply.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.

The bicycle is using energy to do work.

Bridget has kinetic energy.

The bicycle has potential energy.

The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Explanation:

Energy can be transformed from one form to another. A body possess kinetic energy due to virtue of its motion. Potential energy is possessed by a body due to virtue of its position. mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. Nuclear energy is produced when atoms split or two atoms fuse together.

When Bridget is riding bicycle up a hill. Energy involved is both kinetic energy due to motion and potential energy due to gain in height up the hill. Bridget is pedaling, hence he is transferring energy to the bicycle. Bridget is in motion along with the bicycle. Hence, both Bridget and Bicycle have kinetic energy and potential energy. We can say both have mechanical energy. Thus correct options are:

Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.

The bicycle is using energy to do work.

Bridget has kinetic energy.

The bicycle has potential energy.

The bicycle has mechanical energy.

35 POINTSS!!! PLSSSS HELLPPP!!!
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

T

beacuse:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another by doing work. ... When work is done, energy is transferred from the agent to the object, which results in a change in the object's motion (more specifically, a change in the object's kinetic energy).

A parachutist falls 50.0 m without friction. When the parachute opens, he slows down at a rate of 67 m/s*2. If he reaches the gr
KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at

Since the height are equal

\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0

t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²

Thalia is drafting a plan to move a large, perfect sphere concrete sculpture that is in front of her office building. Describe t
Marina86 [1]
For the answer to this question, 
Thalia must consider the weight of the object and the mass of the sculpture. Weight and mass are different things. She should also consider the time on how long it will take to move it and where she'll move it.

Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
