Answer:

the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the spring is k.

For clown A:

m = 40 kg

let the extension in the spring is y.

So, the spring force, F = k y

m g = k y

40 x g = k x y

y = 40 x g / k      ..... (1)

For clown B:

m' = 60 kg

Let the extension in the spring is y'.

So, the spring force, F' = k y'

m' g = k y'

y' = 60 x g / k      .....(2)  

Kinetic energy for A, K = 1/2 ky^2

Kinetic energy for B, K' = 1/2 ky'^2

So, K/K' = y^2/y'^2 K / K' = (40 x 40) / (60 x 60)     (from equation (1) and (2))

K / K' = 0.444

K = 0.444 K'

So the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Maximum height = 70000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2 m/s²

m = Mass of sulfur

As the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15 m/s

If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. v₁ = 16.2 m/s

b. μ = 0.251

Explanation:

Given:

θ = 15 ° , r = 100 m , v₂ = 15.0 km / h

a.

To determine v₁ to take a 100 m radius curve banked at 15 °

tan θ  = v₁² / r * g

v₁ = √ r * g * tan θ

v₁ = √ 100 m * 9.8 m/s² * tan 15° = 16.2 m/s

b.

To determine μ friction needed for a frightened

v₂ = 15.0 km / h * 1000 m / 1 km * 1h / 60 minute * 1 minute / 60 seg

v₂ = 4.2 m/s

fk = μ * m * g

a₁ = v₁² / r = 16.2 ² / 100 m = 2.63 m/s²

a₂ = v₂² / r = 4.2 ² / 100 m = 0.18 m/s²

F₁ = m * a₁  ,  F₂ = m * a₂

fk = F₁ - F₂   ⇒  μ * m * g = m * ( a₁ - a₂)

μ * g = a₁ - a₂   ⇒  μ = a₁ - a₂ / g

μ = [ 2.63 m/s² - 0.18 m/s² ] / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.251
