Answer

given,

mass of the hiker = 66.5 kg

elevation of the hiker,h₁ = 1270 m

elevation of top peak,h₂ = 2660 m

a) Change in potential energy

    Δ PE = m g h₂ - m g h₁

    Δ PE = m g (h₂ - h₁)

    Δ PE = 66.5 x 9.8 x  (2660 - 1270)

    Δ PE = 905863 J

b) Minimum work require by the hiker will be equal to Δ PE = 905863 J

c) yes, it can be more than this, if friction is present on the surface.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 3.45 g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed
Pani-rosa [81]

     charge must be equal to 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

 In the question it is said that the particle remains stationary which means the the net force on the particle is zero. So, the counterbalancing forces must be equal which means weight is equal to upward electric force.

     →    Fnet =0

     →    mg =  qE

 substituting the values we get :

         0.00345 × 9.81 =  q × 590

   →       q = 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

    Hence the charge must be equal to   5.74 ×10⁻⁵.

How does the electric force vary with distance
wlad13 [49]
The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

Two uniform solid cylinders, each rotating about its central (longitudinal) axis, have the same mass of 3.56 kg and rotate with
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) 3107.98 J

(b) 14530.6 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 3.56 kg

angular speed, ω = 179 rad/s

Moment of inertia of solid cylinder, I = 1/2 mr^2

where, m is the mass and r be the radius of the cylinder.

(a) radius, r = 0.330 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.330 x 0.330 = 0.194 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.194 x 179 x 179 = 3107.98 J

(b) radius, r = 0.714 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.714 x 0.714 = 0.907 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.907 x 179 x 179 = 14530.6 J

A particle's trajectory is described by x = (0.5t^3-2t^2) meters and y = (0.5t^2-2t), where time is in seconds. What is the part
mestny [16]

Differentiate the components of position to get the corresponding components of velocity :

v_x = \dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt} = \left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^3}\right) t^2 - \left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

v_y = \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt} = \left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t-2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

At <em>t</em> = 5.0 s, the particle has velocity

v_x = \left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^3}\right) (5.0\,\mathrm s)^2 - \left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s) = 17.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_y = \left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s)-2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} = 3.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

The speed at this time is the magnitude of the velocity :

\sqrt{{v_x}^2 + {v_y}^2} \approx \boxed{17.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

The direction of motion at this time is the angle \theta that the velocity vector makes with the positive <em>x</em>-axis, such that

\tan(\theta) = \dfrac{3.0\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{17.5\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}} \implies \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{3.0}{17.5}\right) \approx \boxed{9.73^\circ}
