Answer:

 Em₀ = U = m g h ,  Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

Explanation:

When a car is on a ramp it has a certain amount of mechanical energy. At the highest point of the ramp the mechanical energy is fully potential given by

          Em₀ = U = m g h

As part of this energy descends down the ramp, part of this energy is transformed into kinetic energy and has one part of each, even though the sum remains the initial energy

            Em = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

        y <h

when it reaches the bottom of the ramp it has no height therefore there is no potential energy, all of it has been transformed into kinetic energy

          Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

This energy transformation is in the case that the friction force is zero.

If there is a friction force, it performs work against the low car, it is reflected in an increase in the internal energy (temperature) of the car. In this case the energy in the lower part is less than the initial one by a factor

         W_{nc} = - fr L

therefore the numeraire values ​​of the velocity are lower, due to the energy lost by friction.

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

d=7.115s

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}

Now, we can replace the data in the equation and find the time it will take the bird to travel 3.7 m:

0.52=\frac{3.7}{t}

Solving for t, multiplying by t both sides, and dividing by 0.52 both sides:

t=\frac{3.7}{0.52} =7.115384615s\approx7.115s
