Answer:

434.16 Joules

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of person

From work-energy theorem

KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 67\times (3.6^2-0)\\\Rightarrow KE=434.16\ Joules

The runner loses 434.16 Joules of mechanical energy.

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow \mu mg=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{\mu mg}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{434.16}{0.7\times 67\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=0.94364\ m

He slides 0.94364 m

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box. The momentum of the ball decreases. Which happens to the momentum? Select one of the op
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>

Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 mm away horizontal
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question.

a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.

What is her "takeoff" speed  v 0 ?

b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.  

If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?

a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.

So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.

b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45

R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.

So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m
