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

Witch is least likely to break? explain?
Reptile [31]
Work Done = Force * Distance

This means the least work is exerted by the most distance, so the longer ones are less likely to break.

The shortest one will be the one that breaks easiest.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Spectra type M

Explanation:

mass spectrum is simply an intensity vs. m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) plot representing a chemical analysis. Hence, the mass spectrum of a sample is a pattern representing the distribution of ions by mass (more correctly: mass-to-charge ratio) in a sample. It is usually acquired using an instrument called a mass spectrometer. Not all the mass spectra of a given substance are same.
