A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the

The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and v=15.5 m/s is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is 
U=mgh
where g=9.81 m/s^2 and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
U=K
and so
mgh =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find the height:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m

if the instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by I=3 sin theta amperes, the rms value of the current will be
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

I_{rms}=2.12\ A

Explanation:

Given that,

The instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by :

I=3\sin\theta\ A

We need to find the rms value of the current.

The general equation of current is given by :

I=I_o\sin\theta

It means, I_o=3\ A

We know that,

I_{rms}=\dfrac{I_o}{\sqrt2}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\\\\=2.12\ A

So, the rms value of current is 2.12 A.

GIVING BRAINLIEST FIVE STARS AND 25 POINTS!
Ne4ueva [31]

Engines can overheat for many reasons. In general, it's because something's wrong within the cooling system and heat isn't able to escape the engine compartment. The source of the issue could include a cooling system leak, faulty radiator fan, broken water pump, or clogged coolant hose.

Hope it helps! Have a nice day or night!

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy mgh, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature {\Delta}T then will be

{\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and {\Delta}Q is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
