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? Measure with respect to the top of the trampoline

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

3) A dock worker pushes a 72 kg crate up a 2.0 m high,
Vlad [161]

Work done on the crate is 1411.2 J

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance moved by the object. The unit of work done is in joules and denoted by the symbol J.

                                     Work done = F * d

where F represents the force and d represents the distance moved by the object.

mass = 72 kg , distance moved by the object is given by 2.0 m

Force F = mass * gravity = 72 * 9.8

             = 705.6 N =706 N.

Work done = 706 * 2.0 = 1412 J.

Legacy issues $570,000 of 8.5%, four-year bonds dated January 1, 2019, that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31
choli [55]

Answer:

1) Determine the total bond interest expense to be recognized.

Total bond interest expense over life of bonds:

Amount repaid:    

8 payments of $24,225:           $193,800    

Par value at maturity:                 $570,000    

Total repaid:                                   $763800 (193,800 + 570,000)  

Less amount borrowed:         $508050    

Total bond interest expense: $255750 (763800 - 508,050)

2)Prepare a straight-line amortization table for the bonds' first two years.

Semiannual Interest Period­ End; Unamortized Discount; Carrying Value

01/01/2019                                      61,950                           508,050  

06/30/2019                                      54,206                          515,794  

12/31/2019                                       46,462                         523,538  

06/30/2020                                       38,718                        531,282  

12/31/2020                                         30,974                          539,026

3) Record the interest payment and amortization on June 30:

June 30            Bond interest expense, dr                         31969  

                       Discount on bonds payable, Cr     (61950/8)  7743.75

                                        Cash, Cr                     ( 570000*8.5%/2)  24225  

4) Record the interest payment and amortization on December 31:

Dec 31                 Bond interest expense, Dr               31969  

                           Discount on bonds payable, Cr  7744  

                                    Cash, Cr                                24225

How would a chart of mid-17th century religious beliefs differ from this chart?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)  Fewer people would identify as an atheist because people were not willing to share alternative religious beliefs publically.

Explanation:

A chart of mid-17th-century religious beliefs differs from this chart in that Fewer people would identify as an atheist because people were not willing to share alternative religious beliefs publically.

In the 1600s, people did not have total freedom of speech if they had any. The church had a tremendous influence in the life of people and religious beliefs defined societies and families. The Church exerted its power and influence in many aspects of the people's lives and something out of the purview of the church or different to the religious beliefs of the Church was considered to be sacrilegious. The Church prosecuted people for being against the Church, so people of that time preferred to say that they were religious people supporting the church. Being an atheist was not really an option in the 17th century.

Anne applies a force on a toy car and makes it move forward. What can be said about the forces acting on the toy car at the mome
tester [92]

The correct answer to the question is unbalanced .

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, we know that a body at rest will be at rest or a body moving with uniform velocity along a straight line will keep on moving with the same velocity along that line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which is responsible for creating the motion on the body.

As per the question, Anne applied some force on the toy car. It is called applied force. There is also frictional force between car and the surface which opposes the motion of the car. The toy car will move due to the net force acting on it. The net force is known as unbalanced force.
