Why does the rider continue to go the same height on the ramp every time and would continue to do that forever?

Physics
1 answer:
Aleks [24]3 years ago
3 0
It’s called conservation of energy. The system (the rider) can’t randomly gain energy without something else giving it energy because energy can’t be created or destroyed, only transferred. The pendulum example is beyond popular and you see physics professors doing it all the time. I think your teacher wants you to say it’ll continue forever, but I don’t think it will. The system will most likely lose energy to its surroundings. And there’s things like air resistance which will, overtime, slow it down. So no, it won’t go on forever

The relative density of oak wood is 0.64 .find the density in the cgs system
Zepler [3.9K]
Relative density is defined as:
 dr = ds / dw
 where:
 dr: relative density
 ds: density of the substance.
 dw: density of water.
 In this case we have the relative density of oak wood:
 dr = 0.64.
 We want to find the density of the substance: ds
 Therefore we need to know the density of water in the cgs unit system:
 dw = 1g / c ^ 3
 Finally:
 ds = dr * dw
 ds = 0.64 * 1 g / cm ^ 3
 ds = 0.64 g / c ^ 3
 The density of the oak wood in cgs is 0.64 g / cm ^ 3

A treasure chest full of silver and gold coins is being lifted from a pirate ship to the shore using two ropes as shown in the f
stiks02 [169]

The tension in rope C is determined as 122.23 N.

<h3>Tension in rope C</h3>

The tension in rope C is calculated as follows;

B² = A² + C²

C² = B² - A²

C² = (752²) - (742²)

C² = 14,940

C = √14,940

C = 122.23 N

Thus, the tension in rope C is determined as 122.23 N.

List the submultiples and multiple units of length, mass, and time with respect to real-life situations. How are these units are
dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of physical quantities namely the fundamental and the derived quantities. Fundamental quantities are independent quantities on which derived quantities depends on. Length, mass and time are examples of fundamental quantities.

The SI unit of length is meters. A meter is a multiple unit. Its submultiple units are centimetres (10⁻²metres), kilometres (10³metres), decimetres (10⁻¹metres) etc

The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg). The only sub multiple unit used in real-life situation is grams.

1 kg = 100 grams

The SI unit of time is seconds. The multiple units are the minutes, hours, weeks, days and years.

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 day = 24 * 3600 = 86,400 secs

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

None of the above forces on air drag on him is equal to his weight

Explanation:

In the velocity-time graph,the gradient of the curve where it is flatten shows the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity when it reaches terminal velocity which means the parachutist reaches constant velocity or speed,indicating that the acceleration of free fall(g) is zero.And according to the resultant force formula weight - air drag= mass*acceleration. so when accelerate is zero,resultant force is zero. And hence the equation will be like this: weight= air drag
