W=ΔKE , W=-5000j
KEinitial=(1/2)mv² , KEfinal=0j 
ΔKE=-(1/2)mv²
-5000=-(1/2)(100kg)v²
v=10 m/s

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

The work-kinetic energy theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object.

In formula:

W=K_f -K_i (1)

where

W is the work done

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

Kf is the final kinetic energy

In this problem, we have:

W=-5000 J the net work done on the gymnast

m=100 kg is the mass of the gymnast

v_f = 0 is the final velocity of the gymnast, so her final kinetic energy is also zero:

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 = 0

Therefore, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

W=-\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

where v_i is the initial velocity of the girl. By substituting the numbers and re-arranging the equation, we find:

v_i = \sqrt{-\frac{2W}{m}}=\sqrt{-\frac{2(-5000 J)}{100 kg}}=10 m/s

Explain the difference between the 7 parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
inn [45]

Answer:

The difference between the two is, well for one

Spectrum: The entire range that the "waves" could be such, as visible light, x-ray's and so on.

Waves: These are different because they aren't telling you or showing the entire spectrum just which they length that they are.

It may confuse you but it makes sense to me (Sorry)

Consider a highway composed of concrete. If the road is 4.5 km long, 30 m wide, and 0.70 m thick, what is its mass?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need to assume that the density of the concrete is about 2350 Kg/m^3. And using the dimensions of the highway we can calculate the volume of the highway.

vh=4500 * 30 * 0,70\\vh=94500 m^3\\den=m/v\\m=den*v\\m=2350*94500\\\\m=222075 ton

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a ball will be "-70.13 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

u = 70 m

t = 0.0 s

g = a = -9.8 m/s²

s = -1 m

v = ?

As we know,

The equation of motion will be:

⇒  v^2-u^2=2as

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒  v^2-(70)^2=2\times (-9.8)\times (-1)

⇒  v^2-4900=19.6

⇒  v^2=19.6+4900

⇒  v^2=4919.6

⇒  v=\sqrt{4919.6}

⇒  v=70.13 \ m/s

In downward direction, it will be:

⇒  v=-70.13 \ m/s
