Answer:

W=-21,870,000\ J

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Since

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}

W=0-21870000\ J

\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}

A body with a mass of 2,000 kg is lifted to a height of 15 m within a time of 15 s. Which one of the following statements concer
Aleksandr [31]
<span>So we want to know which statement is true for the body of mass m=2000kg that is lifted to a height of h=15m in t=15 s. Lets calculate each of the following: Gravity force on the body is F=m*g=2000*9.81=19620 N so a is FALSE. Potential energy of the body when it is lifted to the height of 15 m is Ep=m*g*h=2000*9.81*15=294300 J so b is FALSE. Work to lift the body is: W=Fg*h=2000*9.81*15= Ep=294300 J so c is FALSE. Power P=W/t=294300/15=19620 W So d is TRUE. </span>

Masses are stacked on top of the block until the top of the block is level with the waterline. This requires 20 g of mass. What
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Mass of the wooden Block is 20g.

Explanation:

The buoyant force equation will be used here

Buoyant Force= ρ*g*1/2V Here density used is of water

m*g= ρ*g*1/2V

Simplifying the above equation

2m= ρ*V Eq-1

Also we know from the question that

ρ*V = m + 0.020 Eq-2 ( Density = (Mass+20g)/Volume )

Equating Eq-1 & Eq-2 we get

2m = m+0.020

m = 0.020kg

m = 20g

If Anisa swims 85.4 yards in five minutes, how many meters will she swim in 70.0 seconds? ( use the metric system for this quest
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : 18.22 meters

Explanation:

1 yard. = 0.9144 meters

85.4 yards = 78.08976 meters

1 minute = 60 seconds

5 minutes = 300 seconds

Speed of Anisa = distance / time

Speed of Anisa = 78.08976 meters / 300 seconds

Speed of Anisa = 0.26029 meters / second.

Distance travelled in 70 seconds = speed * 70

Distance travelled in 70 seconds = 0.26029 * 70 = 18.22 meters

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

Briefly describe the three intelligences included in Robert Sternberg’s triarchic theory of human intelligence.
pshichka [43]
The triarchic theory of intelligence<span> was formulated by </span>Robert J. Sternberg<span>, a prominent figure in research of human </span>intelligence<span>. The theory by itself was among the first to go against the </span>psychometric<span> approach to intelligence and take a more </span>cognitive approach<span>. The three meta components are also called triarchic components. These are the triarchic theory of human intelligence.
</span>1. Analytical - Analytical Intelligence similar to the standard psychometric definition of intelligence e.g. as measured by Academic problem solving: analogies and puzzles, and corresponds to his earlier componential intelligence. Sternberg considers this reflects how an individual relates to his internal world.

Sternberg believes that Analytical Intelligence (Academic problem-solving skills) is based on the joint operations of metacomponents and performance components and knowledge acquisition components of intelligence

2. Practical - Practical Intelligence: this involves the ability to grasp, understand and deal with everyday tasks. This is the Contextual aspect of intelligence and reflects how the individual relates to the external world about him or her.

<span>Sternberg states that Intelligence is: </span>"Purposive adaptation to, shaping of, and selection of real-world environments relevant to one's life" (Sternberg, 1984, p.271)

3. Creative - Creative Intelligence: this involves insights, synthesis and the ability to react to novel situations and stimuli. This he considers the Experiential aspect of intelligence and reflects how an individual connects the internal world to external reality.

<span>Sternberg </span>considers the Creative facet to consist of the ability which allows people to think creatively and that which allows people to adjust creatively and effectively to new situations.

<span>Sternberg believes that more intelligent individuals will also move from consciously learning in a novel situation to automating the new learning so that they can attend to other tasks.</span>
