Alchen [17]

Answer:

<h3>2,321.62Joules</h3>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating workdone is expressed as;

Workdone = Force * Distance

Get the force

F = nR

n is the coefficient of friction = 0.5

R is the reaction = mg

R = 46 ( 9.8)

R = 450.8N

F = 0.5 * 450.8

F = 225.4N

Distance = 10.3m

Get the workdone

Workdone = 225.4 * 10.3

Workdone = 2,321.62Joules

<em>Hence the amount of work done is 2,321.62Joules</em>

Answer:

Approximately $1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , assuming friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible.

Explanation:

Let $m$ denote the mass of the vehicle. Let $v$ denote the initial velocity of the vehicle. Let $k$ denote the spring constant (needs to be found.) Let $x$ denote the maximum displacement of the spring.

Convert velocity of the vehicle to standard units (meters per second):

$\begin{aligned}v &= 20.8\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} \times \frac{1000\; {\rm m}}{1\; {\rm km}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm h}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \\ &\approx 1.908\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Initial kinetic energy ( ${\rm KE}$ ) of the vehicle:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}\end{aligned}$ .

When the vehicle is brought to a rest, the elastic potential energy ( $\text{EPE}$ ) stored in the spring would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

By the conservation of energy, if the friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible, the initial $\text{KE}$ of the vehicle should be equal to the ${\rm EPE}$ of the vehicle. In other words:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2} &= \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for $k$ , the spring constant:

$\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the given values $m = 1508\; {\rm kg}$ , $v \approx 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , and $x = 6.87\; {\rm m}$ :

$\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}} \\ &\approx \frac{1508\; {\rm kg} \times 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{(6.87\; {\rm m})^{2}} \\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} \cdot m^{-3}}\\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}$

Which best describes the law of conservation of mass? The coefficients in front of the chemicals in the reactants should be base

likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. when both sides of the reactants and the products are equal

like h+oh ⇒ h20

hydrogen has 2 atoms on both sides and oxygen has one on both sides

2. no they are put to balance the equation

3. nope they are treated equally as all the other states

4. no if u are talking about a formula unit like NaCl for example it is aqueous not each element taken on its own if u are talking about just elements then i said before all states are treated equally

5. yup

Answer:

As the skydiver falls to the Earth, she experiences positive acceleration only due to gravity.

Explanation:

As the skydiver falls to the Earth, she experiences friction in the form of air resistance which tries to slow her down and is proportional to the her velocity. So it cannot have a positive acceleration as it acts in opposite direction to slow her down.

Inertia during skydiving is experienced when we open an parachute, the parachute slows down the speed of are descent hence changing our inertia of motion with a velocity.

Only the Earth's, gravitational field has an positive acceleration as it pulls us towards the Earth, hence increasing our velocity.
