A sled and rider with a combined mass of 70 kg are at the top of a hill that rises 9 m above the level ground below. The sled is

given a push, providing an initial kinetic energy at the top of the hill of 1,200 J. a. Choosing a reference level at the bottom of the hill, what is the potential energy of the sled and rider at the top of the hill? sled and rider at the top of the hill? of the sled and rider at the bottom of the hill? b. After the push, what is the total mechanical energy of the hill?c. If friction can be ignored, what will be the kinetic energy of the sled and rider at the bottom of the hill?

Answer:

(A) 6174J, 0J.

(B) 7374J

(C) 7374J

Explanation:

See the attachment below for the calculation.

The princi6of conservation of energy has been used.

E = K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

Where E = total mechanical energy.

Taking the bottom as reference, and h =0 and as a result U2 = mg(0) = 0J.

The complete solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below.

A 0.153 kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.700 m/s. It has a head-on col
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.1216 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

M1 = 0.153 kg

v1 = 0.7 m/s

M2 = 0.308 kg

v2 = -2.16 m/s

M1v1 + M2v2 = M1V1 + M2V2

0.153 × 0.7 + 0.308 × -2.16 = 0.153 × V1 + 0.308 × V2

= 0.1071 - 0.66528 = 0.153 × V1 + 0.308 × V2

0.153V1 + 0.308V2 = -0.55818. i

For the velocities,

v1 - v2 = -(V1 - V2)

0.7 - (-2.16) = -(V1 - V2)

-(V1 - V2) = 2.86

V2 - V1 = 2.86. ii

Solving equation i and ii simultaneously,

V1 = 3.1216 m/s

V2 = 0.2616 m/s

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?
marusya05 [52]
Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.

As a train enters the station it slows down from 40 m/s to a 10 m/s in 5 seconds
lora16 [44]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}-a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 10 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 40 [m/s]

t = time = 5 [s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing:

10=40-a*5\\40-10=a*5\\30=5*a\\a=6[m/s^{2}]

Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velecity is decreasing.

2)

To solve this second part we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2} -2*a*x\\

where:

x = distance [m]

(10)^{2} =(40)^{2} -2*6*x\\100=1600-12*x\\12*x=1600-100\\12*x=1500\\x=125[m]
