A 24kg child descends a slide 5m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 2.8m/s. How much thermal energy due to friction was

generated in this process?
Physics

Rama09 [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1101.96 J

Explanation:

Potential energy at top = mgh = 24*10*5 = 1200J

Kinetic energy at bottom = 1/2*m*v² = 0.5*24*(2.8)²= 94.08 J

Loss of energy = 1200 J - 98.04 J

                         = 1101.96 J

Thermal energy due to friction =1101.96 J

A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 6 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:(a)10 ft/s

(b)4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of light =15 feet

height of man=6 feet

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=6 ft/s

From diagram

\frac{15}{y}=\frac{6}{y-x}

5(y-x)=2y

3y=5x

differentiate both sides

3\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=5\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Tip of shadow is moving at the rate of

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{5}{3}\times 6=10 ft/s

(b)rate at which length of his shadow  is changing

Length of shadow is y-x

differentiating w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}-\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=10-6=4 ft/s

If a 10-volt battery is placed across a 2-ohm resistance (R = 20), a current of
attashe74 [19]

Answer: current I = 0.5 A

Explanation:

Given that the

Potential difference V = 10V

Resistance R = 20 ohms

According to ohms law

V = IR

Where

V = potential difference

I = current

R = resistance

Make I the subject of formula

I = V/R

I = 10/20

I = 0.5 Ampere

A tuba may be treated like a tube closed at one end. If a tuba has a fundamental frequency of 88.4 Hz, determine the first three
yulyashka [42]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Fundamental frequency,f=88.4 Hz

Speed of sound,v=343 m/s

We have to find the first three overtones.

Tube is closed

The overtone of closed pipe  is equal to odd number of fundamental frequency.

Therefore, the overtone of tuba

f'=nf

Where n=3,5,7,..

Substitute n=3

f'=3\times 88.4=265.2Hz

For second overtone

f'=5\times 88.4=442Hz

For third overtone

f'=7\times 88.4=618.8Hz

A tow truck drags a stalled car along a road. The chain makes an angle of 30???? with the road and the tension in the chain is 1
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)
