Answer:
(a) -472.305 J
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
(a)
Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is given by
Initial kinetic energy is 
Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero
Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence
0-472.305 J=-472.305 J
(b)
From fundamental kinematic equation
Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance
Making s the subject we obtain
but a=\mu g hence
The relationship between gravity and pressure in a nebula is that pressure balances gravity. <span>The </span>pressure<span> exerted by a static fluid depends only upon the depth of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration of </span><span>gravity. The answer is B. </span>
The mean of the velocities.
(finalVelocity + initialVelocity)/2
From the given information, we don't know. All we can tell is the net effect of all the changes during those 4 seconds ... the "averages".
The average change in speed is an increase of 72 km/hr (20 m/s) during that time.
The average acceleration is a constant 18 km/hr/sec (5 m/s^2) during the same time.
But both the speed and the acceleration may have gone up or down many times during the 4 seconds.
