A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra, which has mass m, down a frictionless chute, starting at a height D above the bottom of the

chute and with an initial speed of v. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μ. At what distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Express your answer in terms of the given variables and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

Explanation:

mass of the boy = m kg

staring height of the boy = D meters

initial velocity = v

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

total energy of the toy is

E_total = K.E. +P.E.

= 0.5mv^2 +mgD

= m( 0.5v^2+ gD)

The work done by friction force

W= μ×F_normal ×distance

W= μ×m×g×d

hence, the distance d covered by the zebra toy

and since, the total energy is conserved

W= E_total

μ×m×g×d= m( 0.5v^2+ gD)

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

hence, the distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy algebra comes to rest.

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 14.0 m high flight of step
Liula [17]

Answer:

400 trips

Explanation:

Mechanical energy needed to climb 14 m by a man of 68 kg

= mgh

= 68 x 9.8 x 14

= 9330 J

1 Kg of fat releases 3.77 x 10⁷ J of energy

.45 kg of fat releases 1.6965 x 10⁷ J of energy

22% is converted into mechanical energy

so 22% of 1.6965 x 10⁷ J

= 3732.3 x 10³ J of mechanical energy will be available for mechanical work.

one trip of climbing of 14 m requires 9330 J of mechanical energy

no of such trip possible with given mechanical energy

= 3732.3 x 10³ / 9330

= 400 trips

Which of these items are made of cells? Check all that apply.
Katen [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Bacteria, Horses, Humans and Mushrooms.

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of cells. A cell is a microscopic atomic unit and is made up of cytoplasm, one or more nuclei, and a membrane.

They are divided into eukaryotic cells (with nucleus) and prokaryotic cells (they do not have a nucleus).

Depending on the number of cells that living organisms have, they can be classified as single-celled organisms, which are made up of one cell. For example bacteria.

Or they can be multicellular organisms, formed by two or more cells, for example horses.

A long conducting cylindrical pipe has a length L
DanielleElmas [232]

The charge distribute on the inner surface with the radius r₁ will be zero,In the region r₁<r<r₂  will also zero. While on the outer surface with radius r₂ will be -q.

<h3>What is Gauss law?</h3>

The total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge contained divided by the permittivity,

According to Gauss Law. the electric flux in a given area is calculated by multiplying the electric field by the area of the surface projected in a plane perpendicular to the field.

From the Gauss law, it is stated that the field inside the conductor is zero. Charge will lie only on the surface.

(a)The charge distribute on the inner surface with the radius r₁ will be zero.

(b) In the region r₁<r<r₂  will also zero.

(c)The outer surface with radius r₂ charge distribution  will be -q.

Hence, the charge distribute on the inner surface with the radius r₁ will be zero,
