Two cyclists, who weigh the same and have identical bicycles, ride up the same mountain, both starting at the same time. Joe rid

es straight up the mountain, and Bob rides up the longer road that has a lower grade. Joe gets to the top before Bob. Which statement is true?
A) Ignoring friction and wind resistance, Bob and Joe exerted the same amount of work, and the average power of each cyclist was also the same.
B) Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the amount of work done by Joe is equal to the amount of work done by Bob, but the average power exerted by Joe is greater than that of Bob.
C) Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the average power exerted by Bob and Joe was the same, but Joe exerted more work in getting there.
D) Ignoring friction and wind resistance, the amount of work done by Joe is greater than the amount of work done by Bob, and the average power exerted by Joe is greater than that of Bob.

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

In the given question, two cyclists of equal weight are riding the same mountain with cycles of the same weight but Joe reaches the top before Bob.

This scenario can be explained in terms of power and if we ignore the force of wind resistance and friction. Power refers to the work done per unit time, therefore, P= W/t. Since Joe rides up straight earlier than Bob shows that Joe has exerted more power than Bob that is the amount of work done by the Joe is greater than Bob.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

What is accurate about the planet’s climate system?
ElenaW [278]

The accurate about the planet’s climate system is the wind

because heating near the equator blows the wind to drive the convection cells in the atmosphere, and the friction created by the rotation of the spherical planet in the atmosphere causes the wind to appear to bend left or right across the surface of the planet. ..

The climate system is a highly complex global system consisting of five major components: the atmosphere, the ocean, the cryosphere (cryosphere), the land surface, the biosphere, and the interactions between them.

Solar energy drives the climate by heating the surface of the earth unevenly. Ice also reflects incoming sunlight, further cooling the poles. Temperature differences move the ocean and atmosphere as they work together to disperse heat throughout the globe.

A 720 kg roller-coaster starts off from Location A. Assuming friction does not impede the car's motion, what will be the change
vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

A worker pushed a 33 kg block 6.1 m along a level floor at constant speed with a force directed 23° below the horizontal. if the
jenyasd209 [6]
The work done occurs only in the direction the block was moved - horizontally. Work is given by:

W = F(h) * d

Where F(h) is the force applied in that direction (horizontal) and d is the distance in that direction. In this case, F(h) is the horizontal component of the applied force, F(app). However, the question doesn't give us F(app), so we need to find it some other way.

Since the block is moving at a constant speed, we know the horizontal forces must be balanced so that the net force is 0. This means that F(h) must be exactly balanced by the friction force, f. We can express F(h) as a function of F(app):

F(h) = F(app)cos(23)

Friction is a little trickier - since the block is being PUSHED into the ground a bit by the vertical component of the applied force, F(v), the normal force, N, is actually a bit more than mg:

N = mg + F(v) = mg + F(app)sin(23)

Now we can get down to business and solve for F(app) - as mentioned above:

F(h) = f
F(h) = uN
F(h) = u * (mg + F(v))
F(app)cos(23) = 0.20 * (33 * 9.8 + F(app)sin(23))
F(app) = 76.8

Now that we have F(app), we can find the exact value of F(h):

F(h) = F(app)cos(23)
F(h) = 76.8cos(23)
F(h) = 70.7

And now that we have F(h), we can find W:
W = F(h) * d
W = 70.7 * 6.1
W = 431.3

Therefore, the work done by the worker's force is 431.3 J. This also represents the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system.
