Answer:

v = 28.7 m/s

Explanation:

  • According to the Work Energy Theorem, the work done by external forces on the system, is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the system.
  • In absence of friction, the only force that does work , producing a displacement in the direction of the force, is the component of gravity parallel to the slide:

       Fg_{p } = m*g* sin \theta (1)

  • The displacement d,along the slide, can be found from the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

        sin \theta =\frac{h}{d}

  • Solving for d, we get:

       d = \frac{h}{sin \theta} (2)

  • Now, the work done by Fgp, is just the product of the force times the displacement, as follows:

        W = Fgp * d

  • From (1) and (2) we can find W as follows:

       W =Fg_{p }* d = m*g* sin \theta * \frac{h}{sin \theta} = m*g*h

  • This expression must be equal to ΔK, as follows:

        \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m *v^{2} = m*g*h

  • Simplifying common terms, we can solve for v (the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the slide), as follows:

        v =\sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8 m/s2*42 m} = 28.7 m/s

  • The velocity of the sled at the bottom of the slide is 28.7 m/s, taking as positive the direction down the slide.

The conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A. respiration.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

Additionally, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

Basically, oxygen goes into the body of a living organism such as plants, humans and animals when they breathe while glucose is absorbed by the body when they eat.

Hence, the conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is respiration.

a force of 17 acts on a block of mass 4kg the forces of friction opposing the motion is 5n . the acceleration of the block is​
Nady [450]
Fk = μK N

N = m a

N = 4 × a

N = 4a

Fk = μK N

17 = 5 × 4a

17 = 20 a

a = ¹⁷/₂₀ = 0.85 m/s²

4. A 62.0-kg person, standing on the diving board, dives straight down into the water. Just before striking the water, her speed
Alekssandra [29.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as

\Delta P = F\Delta t

F = Force

\Delta t = Time

At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as

P = m \Delta v

Where

m = Mass

\Delta v = Change in velocity

Our values are given as

\Delta t=1.65s

By equating the two equations we can find the Force,

F\Delta t = m\Delta v

F = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

F = \frac{62(1.1-5.5)}{1.65}

Therefore, the net average force will be:

F = - 165N

The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.
