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 "

Given the mechanism of C5M action, what is the most likely reason that C5M concentrations greater than 2 µM were NOT used by the
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

It can cause a significant negative effects on certain tissues and target cells.

Explanation:

Generally, based on the mechanism of C5M, its presence in any experiment can harm certain tissues and target cells. Therefore, the use of a large amount (in terms of concentration above 2 µM) of C5M will enhance the negative effects of C5M on the surrounding/neighboring tissue as well as the normal division of target cells. That is the reason why a higher concentration was not used in the experimental runs.

Which of the following is not a double-replacement?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

From the given options the reaction which is not a double replacement reaction is:

Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq)\rightarrow H_2 (g) + ZnCl_2 (s)

This because the above reaction is an example of single replacement reaction.

AB+C\rightarrow AC+B

Whereas;

Double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which exchange of ions among the reactants take place.

AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB

Topic: Chapter 10: Projectory or trajectile?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The other angle is 75⁰

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the projectile, v = 10 m/s

range of the projectile, R = 5.1 m

angle of projection, 15⁰

The range of a projectile is given as;

R = \frac{u^2sin(2\theta)}{g}

To find another angle of projection to give the same range;

5.1 = \frac{10^2 sin(2\theta)}{9.81} \\\\100sin(2\theta) = 50\\\\sin(2\theta) = 0.5\\\\2\theta = sin^{-1}(0.5)\\\\2\theta = 30^0\\\\\theta = 15^0\\\\since \ the \ angle \ occurs \ in \ \ the \ first \ quadrant,\  the \ equivalent \ angle \\ is \ calculated \ as;\\\\90- \theta = 15^0\\\\\theta = 90 - 15^0\\\\\theta = 75^0

<u>Check: </u>

sin(2θ) = sin(2 x 75) = sin(150) = 0.5

sin(2θ) = sin(2 x 15) = sin(30) = 0.5

TECHNOLOGY A Lamborghini Aventador accelerates from rest to 100 km / h in 2.9 s. The mass of the car is 1575 kg Calculate the po
DerKrebs [107]

At 100 km/hr, the car's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (1575 kg) ( [100 km/hr] x [1000 m/km] x [1 hr/3600 sec] )²

KE = (787.5 kg) (27.78 m/s)²

KE = 607,639 Joules

In order to deliver this energy in 2.9 seconds, the engine must supply

(607,639 J / 2.9 sec) = 209,531 watts

<em>Power = 281 HP</em>

Newton’s Laws of Motion are absolute in classical physics. One example that uses all three laws simultaneously is the firing of
Debora [2.8K]
I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored. 
Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law. 
Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.
Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from. 
I think that the above mostly tcuches on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.
