A biker pedals hard to ride his bike to the top of a 44 m hill. He decides to let his bike coast down the hill, and is having so

much fun coasting that he decided not to pedal even climbing the next hill. If that hill is 10 m high, what will the biker s speed be at the top of that hill?

The biker's speed at the top of the second hill is 25.8 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solve by applying the law of conservation of energy. In absence of frictional forces, the total mechanical energy of the bike (the sum of potential energy + kinetic energy) must be conserved. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where

U_i is the initial potential energy at the top of the first hill

K_i is the initial kinetic energy at the top of the first hill

U_f is the final potential energy at the top of the second hill

K_f is the final kinetic energy at the top of the second hill

We can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m is the mass of the bike

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 44 m is the height of the first hill

u = 0 m/s is the speed at the top of the first hill

h_f = 10 m is the height of the second hill

v is the speed at the top of the second hill

And solving for v, we find:

mgh_i = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\v^2=\sqrt{2g(h_i-h_f)}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(44-10)}=25.8 m/s

A bicycle is ridden along a horizontal road with a driving force of 400, n,400n. its speed is constant at 12, m, slash, s,12m/s.
mr_godi [17]

The magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider is 400N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

The friction force is the opposing force which acts on the object which is in relative motion.

The driving force is equal and opposite to the friction force acting between road and bicycle.

Friction force = 400N

The friction force between rider and bike is zero.

So the magnitude of sum of friction force = 400N +0 = 400N

Thus, the magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider.

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of  external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.
