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

How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if work done by friction is negligible and
aev [14]

Answer:

h= 46.66 m

Explanation:

Given that

Initial speed of the car ,u = 110 km/h

We know that

1 km/h= 0.277 m/s

u= 30.55 m/s

lets height gain by car is h.

The final speed of the car will be zero at height h.

v²=u²- 2 g h

v= 0 m/s

0²=30.55²- 2 x 10 x h           ( g = 10 m/s²)

h= 46.66 m
