A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle with a maximum height of 3.0 m, with a radius of 8.5 m, and with the gro

und tangent to the circle. Dr. Ritchey’s 12 kg daughter starts from rest at the top of the slide and has a speed of 4.5 m/s at the bottom. a. What is the length of the slide? b. What average frictional force acts on the child over this distance?

Answer:

a) s \approx 6.676\,m

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R

s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)

s \approx 6.676\,m

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}

m\cdot g \cdot h_{A} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{B}^{2} + f\cdot s

The average frictional force is cleared within the expression:

f = \frac{m\cdot (g\cdot h_{A}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{B}^{2})}{s}

f = \frac{(12\,kg)\cdot [(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,m)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.5\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} ]}{6.676\,m}

f = 34.684\,N

Plants that are pollinated by wind produce much more pollen than plants that are pollinated by animals. Why do you suppose this
Paha777 [63]
<span>The wind does not deliver pollen directly to any particular plant. Pollinating animals are encouraged to visit the next flower. The wind deposits pollen everywhere at once. Wind pollinated plants therefore have a much greater area to cover, and produce more pollen.</span><span />

An 114 kg man climbs up a 1 m high flight of stairs. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . What is the increase in the gra
Nitella [24]

Answer:

1.118KJ

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

If the body has a mass (m), and climbs through height (h), the potential energy will be mass×acceleration due to gravity×height

P.E = mgh

Given m = 114kg, g = 9.81m/s² h = 1m

P.E = 114×9.81×1

P.E = 1,118.34Joules

P.E = 1.118KJ

This shows that increase in the gravitational potential energy of the man-earth system is 1.118KJ
