A 72-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.61 m,

and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy

Answer:

2849.98 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the boy = change Potential energy of the boy + change in kinetic energy of the boy

W = ΔP + ΔK..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the boy, ΔP = change in potential energy of the boy, ΔK = Change in kinetic energy of the boy.

But,

ΔP = mgΔh.................... Equation 2

ΔK = 1/2mΔv²................. Equation 3

Where m = mass of the boy, Δh = change in height of the boy, Δv = change in velocity of the boy.

Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

W = mgΔh+1/2mΔv²................. Equation 4

Given: m = 72 kg, Δh = 1.61 m, Δv = 8.5-1.6 = 6.9 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 72(9.8)(1.61)+1/2(72)(6.9²)

W = 1136.016+1713.96

W = 2849.98 J

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = \frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

n = \frac{c}{v}

It is a dimensionless no.

Of the following, which is the best reason for why a woman's risk for cardiovascular disease increases after menopause?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The best reason for the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in women after menopause is the significant decrease in the levels of Estrogen in the body.

Detailed answer:

  • Due to the approach of menopause the estrogen levels in the blood decrease drastically.
  • Estrogen helps in relaxing the vessels and keeping them in their natural diameter.
  • But due to a drastic decrease in its level due to menopause, there is a high chance of cholesterol building up on the walls of the artery in the heart, which can cause many cardiovascular diseases.
