16.33m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the hiker = 75kg

Potential energy = 12000J

Unknown:

Height = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy at rest of a body.

Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the hiker

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

The unknown is the height;

Height = $\frac{Potential energy}{mg}$

Height = $\frac{12000}{75 x 9.8}$ = 16.33m

Answer:

it is a light receptor that generates nerve signals that are sent to the brain

Explanation:

the lens are like the glasses, this means that is used to see things better. You just put them in your eye and that's all it's not connected to the brain

A 75Kg man jumps from a window 1.0m above the sidewalk. If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for

liq [111]

Answer:

150153.06122 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 75 kg

h = Height of fall = 1 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = Force

s = Displacement = 0.49 cm

Potential energy is given by

$P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=75\times 9.81\times 1\\\Rightarrow P=735.75\ J$

Work is given by

$W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{735.75}{0.0049}\\\Rightarrow F=150153.06122\ N$

The average force exerted is 150153.06122 N

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

$W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

According to the data given we have to,

$Q_{source} = 200000Btu$

$T_{source} = 1500R$

$Q_{sink} = 100000Btu$

$T_{sink} = 600R$

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R$

On the other hand,

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}$

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}$

$\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R$

The total change of entropy would be,

$S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}$

$S = -133.33+166.67$

$S = 33.34Btu/R$

Since $S\neq 0$ the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

$W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

$W = 200000-100000$

$W = 100000 Btu$

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu

The dragster has a mass of 1.3 Mg and a center of mass at G. A parachute is attached at C provides a horizontal braking force of

adell [148]

Answer:

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is 16.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:

The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m

Balancing the equilibrium about point A;

F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = $ma_a (0.35)$
