A 110 kg ice hockey player skates at 3.0 m/s toward a railing at the edge of the ice and then stops himself by grasping the rail

ing with his outstretched arms. During the stopping process, his center of mass moves 30 cm toward the railing. (a) What is the change in the kinetic energy of his center of mass during this process? (b) What average force must he exert on the railing?

Answer:

(a). The change in the kinetic energy of his center of mass during this process is -495 J.

(b). The average force is 1650 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 110 kg

Speed = 3.0 m/s

Distance = 30 cm

(a). We need to calculate the change in the kinetic energy of his center of mass during this process

Using formula of kinetic energy

\Delta K.E=K.E_{2}-K.E_{1}

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2

Put the value into the formula

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times110\times0^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times110\times(3.0)^2

\Delta K.E=-495\ J

(b). We need to calculate the average force must he exert on the railing

Using work energy theorem

W=\Delta K.E

Fd=\Delta K.E

F=\dfrac{\Delta K.E}{d}

Put the value into the formula

F=\dfrac{-495}{30\times10^{-2}}

F=-1650\ N

The average force is 1650 N.

Hence, (a). The change in the kinetic energy of his center of mass during this process is -495 J.

(b). The average force is 1650 N.

Answer

given,

mass of ice hockey player = 110 Kg

initial speed of the skate = 3 m/s

final speed of the skate = 0 m/s

distance of the center of mass, m = 30 cm = 0.3 m

a) Change in kinetic energy

    \Delta KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2

    \Delta KE = \dfrac{1}{2}m(0)^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 110 \times 3^2

    \Delta KE = - 495\ J

b) Average force must he exerted on the railing

     using work energy theorem

      W = Δ KE

      F .d  = -495

      F x 0.3  = -495

      F = -1650 N

the average force exerted on the railing is equal to 1650 N.

What conventions are used in SI to indicate units
klemol [59]

Answer:

<u>Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:</u>

  • Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
  • Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
  • Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
  • Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
  • While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
  • Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
  • Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

it can cause huricans and flooding

Explanation:

Storm surge is the rising of the sea level due to the low pressure, high winds, and high waves associated with a hurricane as it makes landfall. The storm surge can cause significant flooding and cost people their lives if they're caught unexpected

A car of mass 1500 kg is negotiating a flat circular curve of radius 50 m with a speed of 20 m/s.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The source of centripetal force on the car is  (3) the static friction force.

b. ac = v²/R = (20²)/50 = 8 m/s²

c.  Fc = m(ac) = 1500(8) = 12 kN

d. μ = Fc/N = Fc/mg = 12000 / 1500(9.8) = 0.8163... ≈ 0.82

Explain why ice floats in water. Explain why ice floats in water. Steam is more dense than water. Ice is the same density as wat
Pani-rosa [81]

Hey how's your day going

I hope after I answer that you understand and don't just paste my answer into your assignment!!! (<- read!!!)

Answer \|/

             

Ice is less dense than water.

Reason why \|/

                   

When water freezes the molecules inside completely stop moving (They still vibrate but don't change their position much). In doing so, they spread out a touch which makes it less dense than liquid water. So ice floats

hooke's law is described mathematically using the formula fsp=-kx. which statement is correct about spring force, fsp? A. It is
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A. It is always a positive force

Explanation:

Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.
