4. A 75 kg bobsled is pushed along a horizontal surface by two athletes. After the
1 answer:
The net force on the sled is 300 N
Explanation:
First of all, we start by finding the acceleration of the bobsled, by using the suvat equation:
where:
v = 6.0 m/s is the final velocity of the sled
u = 0 is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s = 4.5 m is the displacement of the sled
Solving for a, we find
Now we can find the net force on the sled by using Newton's second law:
F = ma
where
F is the net force
m = 75 kg is the mass of the sled
is the acceleration
Solving the equation, we find the net force:

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
Explanation:
When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by
where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by
where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
