Answer: 2352 J

Explanation:

A body's<u> gravitational potential energy</u> U depends on its position and is mathematically expressed as follows:

U=mgh

Where:

m=60 kg is the mass of the skater

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

h=4 m is the skater's current height

Solving:

U=(60 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})(4 m)

U=2352 J

Answer:

a. A = 0.735 m

b. T = 0.73 s

c. ΔE = 120 J decrease

d. The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

Explanation:

a.

4 kg * 10 m /s + 6 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg* vmax

vmax = 4.0 m/s

¹/₂ * m * v²max = ¹/₂ * k * A²

m * v² = k * A²  ⇒ 10 kg * 4 m/s = 100 N/m * A²

A = √1.6 m ² = 1.26 m

At = 2.0 m - 1.26 m = 0.735 m

b.

T = 2π * √m / k ⇒ T = 2π * √4.0 kg / 100 N/m = 1.26 s

T = 2π *√ 10 / 100 *s² = 1.99 s

T = 1.99 s -1.26 s = 0.73 s

c.

E = ¹/₂ * m * v²max =

E₁ = ¹/₂ * 4.0 kg * 10² m/s = 200 J

E₂ = ¹/₂ * 10 * 4² = 80 J

200 J - 80 J  = 120 J decrease

d.

The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

Arisa [49]
The people of Florida are closest to the equator and also near 2 different bodies of water and have rivers running thru them as well salt water and fresh water. they need alot of freshwater due to monsoon seasons, hurricanes etc, its humid and hot there so naturally you need to water more often and frequently.

A runner starts from rest and in 3 s reaches a speed of 8 m/s. If we assume that the speed changed at a constant rate (constant
Stells [14]

Answer:

The average speed of the runner is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average speed (a.s) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to travel that distance (t):

a.s = d / t

So, let´s find the distance traveled in those 3 s. For that, we can use the equation of position of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the runner starts, then, x0 = 0. Since the runner starts from rest, v0 = 0. So, the equation gets reduced to this:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

We have the time (3 s), so let´s find the acceleration. For that, we can use the equation of velocity of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

v = v0 + a · t

Where "v" is the velocity at a time "t". Since v0 = 0, then:

v = a · t

At t = 3 s, v = 8 m/s

8 m/s = a · 3 s

8/3 m/s² = a

So let´s find the position of the runner at t = 3 s (In this case, the position of the runner will be equal to the traveled distance):

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 8/3 m/s² · (3 s)²

x = 12 m

Now, we can calcualte the average speed:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 12 m / 3 s

a.s = 4 m/s

The average speed of the runner is 4 m/s.
