The potential energy of the skier at the top is
60 kg (9.81 m/s2) (10 m) = 5886 J

Her kinetic energy at the bottom is
(1/2) (60 kg) (10 m/s)^2 = 3000 J

The energy lost to friction is
5886 J - 3000 J = 2886 J

Homes are often insulated with fiberglass insulation in their walls and ceiling. The thermal conductivity of fiberglass is 0.040
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.866 x 10^8 J

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity, K = 0.040 W/m^2 k

Area of the wall, A = 470 m^2

Thickness, d = 17 cm = 0.17 m

difference in temperature, ΔT = 30° C

The rate of heat flow is H.

Time, t = 1 day = 1 x 24 x 60 x 60 second = 86400 second

By use of formula of heat flow

H=\frac{K A \Delta T}{d}t

H=\frac{0.040 \times 470 \times 30}{0.17}\times 86400

H = 2.866 x 10^8 J

A basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s. ​We can ignore air resistance.
FinnZ [79.3K]

We have that  the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release point is

S=1.3m

From the question we are told

  • A basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s. ​We can ignore air resistance.  
  • What is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release point?

Generally the Newtons equation for Motion  is mathematically given as

V^2=u^2+2as\\\\Therefore\\\\0=25-19.6*S\\\\S=\frac{25}{19.6}\\\\S=1.276

S=1.3m

Therefore

The maximum height reached by the basketball from its release point is

S=1.3m
