Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy

Gain in potential energy by the skateboarder=  Loss in kinetic energy by the skateboarder

PE=KE where KE represent potential energy, PE represent potential energy

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is mass of skateboarder and v is velocity of skateboarder

PE=mgh where m is the mass of skateboarder, g is acceleration due to gravity which in this case is taken as 9.81 m/s^{2} and h is the highest point reached by the skateboarder. Equating PE=KE we have

mgh=0.5mv^{2} and since m are on both LHS and LHS, the cancel

gh=0.5v^{2} and making h the subject of the above formula

h=\frac {0.5v^{2}}{g}

Substituting v with 5.4 m/s and g as 9.81 m/s^{2} we obtain

h=\frac {0.5*(5.4 m/s)^{2}}{9.81}=1.486238532  m

Rounded off, h=1.5 m

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts
Reika [66]
Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the
Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2

Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25

Q = 212500 + 45000

Q = 257500 J

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

The linear momentum of a car of mass 1000 kg moving with a speed of 10 m/s is-----kg.m/s. HELP ME
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

The kilogram-meter per second (kg · m/s or kg · m · s -1 ) is the standard unit of momentum . Reduced to base units in the International System of Units ( SI ), a kilogram-meter per second is the equivalent of a newton-second (N · s), which is the SI unit of impulse .
