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

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

Which among the following statement/s is correct?
seropon [69]

Answer:

(D) None

Explanation:

The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.

Examples of this force at work are;

  • The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
  • The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
  • The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating

The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula
saul85 [17]
<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.


Hope it helped

maria [59]

Answer:

995.12 N/C

Explanation:

R = 9 cm = 0.09 m

σ = 9 nC/m^2 = 9 x 10^-9 C/m^2

r = 9.1 cm = 0.091 m

q = σ x 4π R² = 9 x 10^-9 x 4 x 3.14 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 9.156 x 10^-10 C

E = kq / r^2

E = ( 9 x 10^9 x 9.156 x 10^-10) / (0.091 x 0.091)

E = 995.12 N/C
