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

Tom [10]
The bending of light as it passes into a transparent material of different optical intensity is known as refraction. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "C".It can never be reflection as reflection is the bouncing of the light from a surface and so option “A” can easily be negated. The last option or option “D”<span> conversion and it mean converting something to another and that means a total change of form. So the last option should also be negated. The second option can also be negated.</span>

A mixture of nitrogen and water vapor at 200oF, 1 atm has the molar analysis of 80% N2, 20% water vapor.a) If the mixture is coo
Illusion [34]

Answer:

p_g = 57.64 lb/in^2

Explanation:

Given data:

temperature of water vapor is 200 degree F

pressure is 1 atm

\from the standard water temperature tables , at temperature  200 degree F

p_{sat}  = 11.538 psia

\omega_1 = \frac{0.622 \times 0.2 \times 11.538}{14.7 - (0.2\times 11.538)}

\omega_1 = 0.115

at temp 200 degree F and\omega _1 = 0.115

\phi = 0.255

so relative humidity is given as

\phi = \frac{p_v}{p_g}

0.255 = \frac{14.7}{p_g}

p_g = 57.64 lb/in^2

Two illustrations of transverse waves. The one with shorter crests is labeled A. The wave with taller crests is labeled B. Which
suter [353]

The largest distance moved by a particle of a vibrating body from its equilibrium position is called amplitude. Wave B has higher energy because wave it has a higher amplitude.

<h3>What is the amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The largest distance moved by the particles on either side of the mean position is the amplitude of a wave.

The maximum height of either crest or trough from its equilibrium position is called amplitude.

Hence Wave B has higher energy because it has a higher amplitude.

To learn more about the amplitude of a wave refer to the link;
