Answer

mass of bear = 43 Kg                  

length of the pine tree = 15 m

speed = 5.5 m/s            

a) P.E = m g h                

P.E = 43 x 9.8 x 15

P. E = 6321 J                

b) K.E = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 43 \times 5.5^2

K.E = 650.375\ J

c) average frictional force              

K E = P E + energy loss due to friction

650.375 = 6321 + E_f

E_f = -5670.625 J

E_f = F x                              

-5670.625 = F x 15

F = -378.042 N

Answer:

-6327.45 Joules

650.375 Joules

378.47166 N

Explanation:

h = Height the bear slides from = 15 m

m = Mass of bear = 43 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity of bear = 5.5 m/s

f = Frictional force

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=43\times -9.81\times 15\\\Rightarrow P=-6327.45\ J

Change that occurs in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide is -6327.45 Joules

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 43\times 5.5^2\\\Rightarrow K=650.375\ J

Kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground is 650.375 Joules

Change in total energy is given by

\Delta E=fh=-(\Delta K+\Delta P)\\\Rightarrow fh=-(650.375-6327.45)\\\Rightarrow fh=5677.075\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{5677.075}{h}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{5677.075}{15}\\\Rightarrow f=378.47166\ N

The frictional force that acts on the sliding bear is 378.47166 N

edward travels 150 kilometers due west and then 200 kilometers in a direction 60 degrees north of west.what is his displacement
Naily [24]

The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 338.32 km.

<h3>What is displacement of Edward?</h3>

The displacement of Edward can be determined from different methods of vector addition. The method applied here is triangular method.

The angle between the 200 km north west and 150 km west = 60 + 90 = 150⁰

The displacement is the side of the triangle facing 150⁰ = R

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

R² = 150² + 200²  - (2x 150 x 200)xcos(150)

R² = 62,500 - (-51,961.52)

R² = 114,461.52

R = 338.32 km

Sound with frequency 1300 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.03 m . At what minimum angle relative to the cent
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

  about 14.7°

Explanation:

The formula for the angle of the first minimum is ...

  sin(θ) = λ/a

where θ is the angle relative to the door centerline, λ is the wavelength of the sound, and "a" is the width of the door.

The wavelength of the sound is the speed of sound divided by the frequency:

  λ = (340 m/s)/(1300 Hz) ≈ 0.261538 m

Then the angle of interest is ...

  θ = arcsin(0.261538/1.03) ≈ 14.7°

At an angle of about 14.7°, someone outside the room will hear no sound.

Pe=___
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

H = start height (v = 0)

h = present height

v = present speed

assuming no friction

total energy = PE + KE

mgH = mgh + .5mv^2

if PE = KE then

mgH = mgh + mgh

h = H/2

potential energy = kinetic energy when object is at half its start height.
