A bicyclist was moving at a rate of 8 m/s, and then sped up to 10 m/s. If the cyclist has a mass of 120 kg, how much work was ne

Answer:

Work = 2160 J

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the cyclist.

As the cyclist is initially moving at speed 8 m/s and after some time his speed changes to 10 m/s

So here we can say that

final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy = work done

W = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

now by plug in all values

W = \frac{1}{2}(120)(10^2 - 8^2)

W = 2160 J

so work done by cyclist will be 2160 J

W=∆KE

KE=1/2m∆v^2

=1/2*120*(10-8) ^2

=240j

andre [41]

Answer:

1.2 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

The centripetal force of a body moving in a circle is given by:

Centripetal force = \frac{Mv^2}{r}

where M = mass of the object, v = velocity with which the object is moving, and r = radius of the circle.

In this case, M = 25,000 kg, v = 2.0 m/s, and r = 8.2 m. Hence;

Centripetal force generated by the whale = 25,000 x 2^2/8.2

                                            = 12,195.12 N = 1.2 x 10^4 N to two significant digits.

Which solution will have more gas dissolved in it, A solution under high-pressure or one under low pressure?
gayaneshka [121]
High pressure, because the more pressure, the less volume, so the atoms have to get closer together.
