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

If a light is moved twice (2x) as far from a surface, the area the light covers is ___ as big.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

twice

Explanation:

From magnification = height of image / height of object

Distance of image/ distance of object = magnification

If the distance and height of the object represents the initial light distance and the exposed surface respectively.

And similarly the distance and height of the image represents the final light distance and the exposed surface respectively.

Hence the new image exposure would be twice as large.

If we use the formula our point of investigation is Height of image,

H2= D2/D1× H1

H2 = 2D2/D1 × H1

H2 = 2H1

A stationary horn emits a sound with a frequency of 228 Hz. A car is moving toward the horn on a straight road with constant spe
stiks02 [169]

Answer: 26.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Original frequency of the horn f_o=228\ Hz

Apparent frequency f'=246\ Hz

Speed of sound is V=340\ m/s

Doppler frequency is

\Rightarrow f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\right)

Where,

v_o=\text{Velocity of the observer}\\v_s=\text{Velocity of the source}

Insert values

\Rightarrow 246=228\left[\dfrac{340+v_o}{340-0}\right]\\\\\Rightarrow 366.84=340+v_o\\\Rightarrow v_o=26.8\ m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 26.84\ m/s

Nellie pulls on a 10kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30N. If there are no other horizontal gorces what is the wagons
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a=3m/s^2

Explanation:

If we have a net force F acting on a body of mass m it will experiment an acceleration a. Newton's 2nd Law gives us the relation between these quantities: F=ma.

In our case, we want to calculate the acceleration, so we write:

a=\frac{F}{m}

With the values we have we get:

a=\frac{30N}{10Kg}=3m/s^2
