1) B
The sun transfers energy to the earth via radiation. This radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation so it heats your skin direclty
2) B
The waves' energy is transferred to you and you lose your footing and fall

A 25 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.20 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 42◦ from t

Semmy [17]

Answer:

A) P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of swing at bottom, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done, W = -138.44 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the child, m = 25 Kg

The length of the swing rope, L = 2.2 m

The angle of the swing to the vertical position, ∅ = 42°

A) The potential energy at the initial position ∅ = 42° is given by the relation

P.E = mgh joule

Considering h = 0 for the vertical position

The h at ∅ = 42° is h = L (1 - cos∅)

P.E = mgL (1 - cos∅)

Substituting the given values in the above equation

P.E = 25 x 9.8 x 2.2 (1 - cos42°)

= 138.44 J

The potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared to the potential energy at the bottom of the swing is, P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of the swing at the bottom.

At bottom of the swing the P.E is completely transformed into the K.E

∴ K.E = P.E

1/2 mv² = 138.44

1/2 x 25 x v² 138.44

v² = 11.0752

v = 3.33 m/s

The velocity of the swing at the bottom is, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done by the tension in the rope from initial position to the bottom

Tension on string, T = Force acting on the swing, F

$W=L\int\limits^0_\phi{F} \, d \phi$

$=L\int\limits^0_\phi{mg.sin \phi} \, d \phi$

= $-Lmg[cos\phi]_{42}^{0}$

= - 2.2 x 25 x 9.8 [cos0 - cos 42°]

= - 138.44 J

The negative sign in the in energy is that the work done is towards the gravitational force of attraction.

The work done by the tension in the ropes as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom of the swing, W = - 138.44 J

What causes a objects to move or stay still? claim and evidence

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A force

Explanation:

A push or a pull is an example of a force and can cause an object to speed up, slow down, etc.. Newton's laws tell us that 1- an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it 2- the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. 3- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.. However, forces like gravity and friction can resist movement.

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)= 800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

$I \omega_i = I' \omega_f$

$(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f$

$M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f$

$3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f$

$2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f$

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

A box is dropped onto a conveyor belt moving at 3.2 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the belt is 0.28, ho

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

t = 1.16 s.

Explanation:

Given,

speed of conveyor belt, v = 3.2 m/s

coefficient of friction,f = 0.28

Using newton second law

f = ma

and we also know that frictional force

f = μ N

f = μ m g

equating both the force equation

a = μ g

a = 0.28 x 9.81

a = 2.75 m/s²

Using Kinematic equation

v = u + at

3.2 = 0 + 2.75 x t

t = 1.16 s.

Time taken by the box to move without slipping is 1.16 s.
