Answer:
distance/ kinetic
Explanation:
According to the work energy theorem, the work done by all forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the body.
So, As the force is applied in the same direction of the distance traveled,so only the kinetic energy of the body changes as after application of force, the speed of the body changes.
A) change in ht after 180m = 180 * sin(4-deg.) = 12.56m
net work done by gravity on the cyclist = mass * gravity * height diff.
= 85 * 9.8 * 12.56
= 10470J
= 10.5kJ
B) Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * vel.^2 = work done by gravity = 10470J
vel.^2 = 10470 * 2 / 85 = 246.4
vel. = 15.7m/s
Answer:
Yes the student is correct
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorderliness) of an isolated system always increases
Therefore, whereby energy is not supplied to maintain the orderly oscillatory motion with constant amplitude, the amplitude of the system is bound to reduce with time that is the vibration of the system must be damped
