A bicyclist maintains a constant speed of 4.00 m/s up a hill that is inclined at 10.0∘ with the horizontal. Calculate the work d

one by the person and the work done by gravity if the bicycle moves a distance of 18.0 m up the hill. The combined mass of the rider and the bike is 82.0 kg. 1) Calculate the work done by gravity. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer:

the work done by the person W_p=2.52*10^3J

the work done by gravuty W_g=-2.52*10^3J

Explanation:

Because the velocity is constant the cyclist has to excert a force equal to the component of the weight.

F_c-F_w=0

F_w=m*g*cos(\theta)\\F_w=82.0*9.81*sin(10^o)\\F_w=140N

The work done by the person is given by:

W_p=F_c*d\\W_p=140N*18.0\\W_p=2.52*10^3J

and the work done by the gravity:

W_g=F_g*d\\W_g=-82.0*9.81*sin(10)*18.0\\\\W_g=-2.52*10^3J

Justify why sound waves need a medium to propagate with example??
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

A wave's frequency is 2Hz and its wavelength is 4 m. What is the wave's speed?
icang [17]

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       =      (4 m)        x  (2 /sec)

                       =               8 m/sec

1hp is written in electric motor what does it mean​
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

The horsepower (hp) is a unit in the foot-pound-second ( fps ) or English system, sometimes used to express the rate at which mechanical energy is expended. It was originally defined as 550 foot-pounds per second (ft-lb/s). A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watt s (W) or 0.746 kilowatt s (kW).
