A cyclist starts from rest and coasts down a 4.0∘ hill. The mass of the cyclist plus bicycle is 85 kg. Ignore air resistance and

friction.
A) After the cyclist has traveled 180 m , what was the net work done by gravity on the cyclist?

B) How fast is the cyclist going? in m/s

please explain if possible!!

A) change in ht after 180m = 180 * sin(4-deg.) = 12.56m

net work done by gravity on the cyclist = mass * gravity * height diff.

= 85 * 9.8 * 12.56

= 10470J

= 10.5kJ

B) Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * vel.^2 = work done by gravity = 10470J

vel.^2 = 10470 * 2 / 85 = 246.4

vel. = 15.7m/s

A soccer field is viewed from above, while a ball is kicked eastward with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The ball experiences a c
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

the ball travelled approximately 60 m towards north before stopping

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

First course : a_{x} = 0.75 m/s², d_{x} = 20 m, u_{x} = 10 m/s

now, form the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute

v_{x}² = (10)² + (2 × 0.75 × 20)

v_{x}² = 100 + 30

v_{x}² = 130

v_{x} = √130

v_{x} = 11.4 m/s

for the Second Course:

u_{y} =  11.4 m/s,  a_{y} = -1.15 m/s²,  v_{y} = 0

Also, form the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute

0² = (11.4)² + (2 × (-1.15) ×  d_{y} )

0 = 129.96 - 2.3d_{y}

2.3d_{y}  = 129.96

d_{y} = 129.96 / 2.3

d_{y} = 56.5 m

so;

|d| = √( d_{x}² + d_{y}² )

we substitute

|d| = √( (20)² + (56.5)² )

|d| = √( 400 + 3192.25 )

|d| = √( 3592.25 )

|d| = 59.9 m ≈ 60 m

Therefore, the ball travelled approximately 60 m towards north before stopping

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2 for the entire distance of 523 m. How long did it take the car
ANEK [815]

Answer:

t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures

Explanation:

The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.

Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.

d = vt + \frac{1}{2}at²

523 = (0)t + (\frac{1}{2})(5.5)t²

523 = 2.8t²

186.8 = t²

13.7 s = t

(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)
