Answer : Lost energy, E = 2704 J

Explanation :

Given that,

Mass of the skier, m = 40 kg

Height from bottom, h = 12 m

Velocity at the bottom, v = 10 m/s

At the top she will have potential energy and at the bottom she will have kinetic energy. Finding one by one :

Potential energy, P = m g h

P = 40 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 12 m

P = 4704 J

Kinetic energy, K = 0.5 × m v²

K = 0.5 × 40 kg × (10 m/s)²

K = 2000 J

Lost energy, E = P - K

E = 4704 J - 2000 J

E = 2704 J

The energy that is lost to friction is 2704 J.

So, the correct option is (D) " 2704 J "

Varvara68 [4.7K]
Speed is defined as the distance over time. So in measuring the speed of a car, the most manual thing that we can do besides using a speedometer is to measure a certain distance then measure the time at which the car passes that distance then divide the distance over the time. Then determine the speed limit.

How is pressure and density related?
enyata [817]

Answer:

Density is directly proportional to pressure

Explanation:

As pressure increases (with constant temperature), density also increases.

Density is inversely proportional to temperature.

A beaker of negligible heat capacity contains 456 g of ice at -25.0°C. A lab technician begins to supply heat to the container a
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

176 min

Explanation:

456 g = .456 kg

Specific heat of ice s = 2093 J kg⁻¹

Heat required to raise the temperature by 25 degree

= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature.

= .456 x 2093 x 25

=23860 J

Heat required to melt the ice to make water at zero degree

= mass x latent heat

= .456 x 334 x 10³

=152304 J

Total heat required = 152304 + 23860 = 176164 J .

Time Required = Heat required / rate of supply of heat

= 176164 / 1000

176.16 min

A student throws a baseball upwards at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizontal. The initial horizontal and vertical components
frez [133]

Given data

ball throws upwards at an angle 60°

Horizontal component (Vh) = 12.5 m/s,

Vertical component (Vv) = 21.7 m/s ,

The magnitude of throw/resultant velocity (V) = ?

The resultant velocity /the velocity with which ball is throws is determined by the following equation

                                   V = √[(Vh)² + (Vv)²]

                                       = √[(12.5)² + (21.7)²]

                                      = 25.04 m/s

<em>                 The resultant velocity or the velocity with which the ball is thrown is 25 m/s</em>
