A girl of mass m1=60 kilograms springs from a trampoline with an initial upward velocity of v1=8.0 meters per second. At height

h=2.0 meters above the trampoline, the girl grabs a box of mass m2= 15 kilograms.For this problem, use g=9.8 meters per second per second for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.a)What is the speed of the girl immediately before she grabs the box?b)What is the speed of the girl immediately after she grabs the box?c)What is the maximum height that the girl (with box) reaches?

a) 5.0 m/s

This first part of the problem can be solved by using the conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the girl just after she jumps is equal to her kinetic energy:

E_i=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2

where m1 = 60 kg is the girl's mass and v1 = 8.0 m/s is her initial velocity.

When she reaches the height of h = 2.0 m, her mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

E_f = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_2 ^2 + m_1 gh

where v2 is the new speed of the girl (before grabbing the box), and h = 2.0m. Equalizing the two equations (because the mechanical energy is conserved), we find

\frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_2 ^2 + m_1 gh\\v_1^2 = v_2^2 +2gh\\v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 -2gh}=\sqrt{(8.0 m/s)^2-(2)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.0 m)}=5.0 m/s

b) 4.0 m/s

After the girl grab the box, the total momentum of the system must be conserved. This means that the initial momentum of the girl must be equal to the total momentum of the girl+box after the girl catches the box:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v_3

where m2 = 15 kg is the mass of the box. Solving the equation for v3, the combined velocity of the girl+box, we find

v_3 = \frac{m_1 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}=\frac{(60 kg)(5.0 m/s)}{60 kg+15 kg}=4 m/s

c) 2.8 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy of the girl after she catches the box is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

E_i = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2) v_3^2 + (m_1+m_2)gh=\frac{1}{2}(75 kg)(4 m/s)^2+(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.0m)=2070 J

While at the maximum height, the speed is zero, so all the mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E_f = (m_1 +m_2)gh_{max}

where h_max is the maximum height. Equalizing the two expressions (because the mechanical energy must be conserved) and solving for h_max, we find

E_i = (m_1+m_2)gh_{max}\\h_{max}=\frac{E_i}{(m_1+m_2)g}=\frac{2070 J}{(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=2.8 m

A car traveling at 60 mph has how much more energy than a car going at 15 mph?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

No, if a car is going faster. The RPM is obviously higher. If that is higher, you can burn through gas and energy much faster. A car going at 15mph would be cruising and wouldn't have to worry too much about burning our your vehicle.

What is the resistance of : A) A 1.70 m long copper wire that is 0.700 mm in diameter? B) A 20.0 cm long piece of carbon with a
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(I). The resistance of the copper wire is 0.0742 Ω.

(II). The resistance of the carbon piece is 1.75 Ω.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of copper wire = 1.70 m

Diameter = 0.700 mm

Length of carbon piece = 20.0 cm

Cross section areaA = (2.00\times10^{-3})^2\ m

(I). We need to calculate the area of copper wire

Using formula of area

A=\pi r^2

A=3.14\times(\dfrac{0.700\times10^{-3}}{2})^2

We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Put the value into the formula

R=\dfrac{1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.70}{3.14\times(\dfrac{0.700\times10^{-3}}{2})^2}

R=0.0742\ \Omega

(II). We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Put the value into the formula

R=\dfrac{3.5\times10^{-5}\times20\times10^{-2}}{(2.00\times10^{-3})^2}

R=1.75\ \Omega

Hence, (I). The resistance of the copper wire is 0.0742 Ω.

(II). The resistance of the carbon piece is 1.75 Ω.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Inter Quartile Range

Explanation:

Quartile is a positional statistical average, which divided the data into 4 equal halves.

Q1 (Lower Quartile) has 25% data below it, 75% above it. Q3 (Upper Quartile) has 75% data below it, 25% above it.

Interquartile range is the measure used to calculate how far the lower & upper quartiles are.
