A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a

rough patch in the ice which slows it down to a speed of 2.85 m/s. How much energy is dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch?

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}$

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.

How does stress influence our immune system?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

When you experience prolonged stress, your body needs those T-cells and white blood cells, and unfortunately, cortisol continues to suppress them, thus weakening your immune system over time.

Explanation:

Stress, Illness and the Immune System. ... When we're stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system

Waves in the ocean are _____ traveling along the water

Mice21 [21]

The answer is energy.

Waves in the ocean are energy travelling along water.

Waves do not transport mass, they transport energy, this is the ability to perform work or exert force and distant points.

Although water seems to be travelling along with the wave, the molecules of water only move up and down; they do not travel along with the wave.

A large uniform chain is hanging from the ceiling, supporting a block of mass 46 kg. The mass of the chain itself is 19 kg, and

docker41 [41]

Answer:

T = 451.26 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of block, m = 46 kg

Mass of the chain, m' = 19 kg

Length of the chain, l = 1.9 m

Let T is the the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block. It is clearly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$T=mg$

$T=46\ kg\times 9.81\ m/s^2$

T = 451.26 N

So, the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block is 451.26 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

81. A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of squirrel $m=560 gm$

Surface area of squirrel $A=930 cm^2$

and the area which face $A_f=\frac{A}{2}=465 cm^2$

height of tree $h=5 m$

Coefficient of drag $C=1$

drag Force $F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\cdot \rho \cdot A\cdot v^2$

Terminal velocity is given

$F_d=mg$

$\frac{1}{2}C\cdot \rho \cdot A\cdot v^2=mg$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times m\times g}{\rho \times C\times A_f}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.560\times 9.8}{1.2\times 1\times 465\times 10^{-4}}}$

$v=13.9 m/s$

(b)Mass of person $m=56 kg$

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

$u=0$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5}$

$v=9.89 m/s$
