Answer:

5.791244495 KNm

Explanation:

The height h is given by, h=42.6sin42.3^{o}

Potential energy, PE is given by

PE=mgh where m is mass of the woman, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 9.81 m/s^{2} and h is already given hence substituting 77 Kg for m we obtain

PE=77*9.81*42.6sin42.3^{o}=21656.7095 Nm

PE=21.6567095 KNm

We also know that Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2} where v is the velocity and substituting v for 20.3 we obtain

KE=0.5*77*20.3^{2}=15865.465 Nm

KE=15.865465 KNm

Friction work is the difference between PE and KE hence

Friction work=21.6567095 KNm-15865.465 Nm=5.791244495 KNm

11) A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 35º incline. It reaches a maximum height of 2.5
Andrej [43]

Answer:

7 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.

K1 +U1=K2+U2

That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.

The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:

KE1= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}

PE2=mgh

K1=U2

\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =mgh

Solve for v

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Input known values and you get 7 m/s.

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 31 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration? (Remem
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The automobile's acceleration in that time interval is -2 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity.

The average acceleration in a given lapse of time is calculated as:

A = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time.

In this case, we have:

initial velocity = 31 m/s

final velocity = 15 m/s

time = 8 seconds.

Then the average acceleration is:

A = (15m/s - 31m/s)/8s = -2 m/s^2

mechanical equivalent of heat Do the data for the second part of the experiment support or refute the second hypothesis
Ksivusya [100]
  • The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis.
  • As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased.
  • Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.

When we state something about the results on the basis whether the observed data supports the original hypothesis, we say that we are concluding the results.

What is the relationship between force and acceleration based on Newton's 2nd law?

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

g A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 2 A. The current is reduced to 1.4 A when an additional 2.2 Ω resistor
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

R1 = 5.13 Ω

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

V = IR............... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = resistance.

From the question,

I = 2 A, R = R1

Substitute into equation 1

V = 2R1................ Equation 2

When a resistance of 2.2Ω is added in series with R1,

assuming the voltage source remain constant

R = 2.2+R1,  and I = 1.4 A

V = 1.4(2.2+R1)................. Equation 3

Substitute the value of V into equation 3

2R1 = 1.4(2.2+R1)

2R1 = 3.08+1.4R1

2R1-1.4R1 = 3.08

0.6R1 = 3.08

R1 = 3.08/0.6

R1 = 5.13 Ω
