Answer:
4086 J
Explanation:
The potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy less the frictional energy. Potential energy= mgh where m represent mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of cliff
Since we have force of air resistance, work done due to air resistance will be product of force and distance
Substituting 10 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 60 m for F then the kinetic energy at the bottom will be
KE= 10*9.81*60- (30*60)=4086 J
Answer:
magnitude: 21.6; direction: 33.7 degrees
Explanation:
When we multiply a vector by a scalar, we have to multiply each component of the vector by the scalar number. In this case, we have
vector: (-3,-2)
Scalar: -6
so the vector multiplied by the scalar will have components
The magnitude is given by Pythagorean's theorem:
and the direction is given by the arctan of the ratio between the y-component and the x-component:
