Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

A car moving at 50 miles per hour speeds up steadily to 70 miles per hour over a period of 30 minutes. How far did it travel dur
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The car will travel 30 miles during the 30-minutes period of acceleration.

Explanation:

Given data :

Initial velocity = v₁ = 50 miles/hour

Final velocity = v₂ = 70 miles/hour

Time = t = 30 min = 0.5 hour

Using the definition of acceleration, we find the acceleration (a)

                   a = (v₂ - v₁) ÷ t

                   a = (70 - 50) ÷ 0.5

                   a = 20 ÷ 0.5

                   a = 40 miles/hour²

Using 3rd equation of motion, we find the distance travel (s)

                    2as = v₂² -  v₁²

                    2(40)s = 70² - 50²

                    80 × s = 4900 - 2500

                         s = 2400 ÷ 80

                        s = 30 miles

How do you find the voltage of a section of a parallel circuit?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +.

Hope this helps!

The electric current in a wire is 1.5A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2s?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.

i.e           I = \frac{Q}{t} ...................(1)

It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.

In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.

From equation 1,

            Q = I × t

                = 1.5 × 2

               = 3.0 Coulombs

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

1. Mr. Ure has a mass of 65 kg, due to the fact that he is WAY too skinny! What is the force of Earth's gravity on him?
shepuryov [24]

1.

m = mass of Mr. Ure = 65 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of earth's gravity on Mr. Ure is given as

F = mg

F = 65 x 9.8

F = 637 N


2.

F = force of gravity on car = 3050 N

m = mass of the car = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of gravity on car is given as

F = mg

3050 = m (9.8)

m = 3050/9.8

m = 311.22 kg


3.

m = mass of Mr. Rees = 90 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of earth's gravity on Mr. Rees is given as

F = mg

F = 90 x 9.8

F = 882 N

Why is it important that home circuits are wired with parallel circuits?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Parallel circuits are used in homes because the loads can be operated independently of each other. That means that you can have an electrical item turned on and running without needing to have all of the other loads on and running as well.
