The Grinch is trying to push a 5000-kg sled up the side of Mount Crumpit (whose side make an angle of 60 degrees above the horiz

ontal) when he suddenly loses his grip and lets go of the sled. The sled starts sliding back down and soon afterwards hits a tree with an impact speed of 60 m/s, three hundred meters further down the slope.
Find the amount of gravitational potential energy that has been lost during the slide (in J).

How much kinetic energy has the sled gained during the slide?

The force responsible for the overall loss of mechanical energy is

A. normal force
B. weight
C. static friction
D. kinetic friction

The missing mechanical energy has been

A. lost for good
B. turned to kinetic energy
C. turned to potential energy
D. turned to thermal energy

Answer:

Explanation:

height lost h  = 300 sin60

= 259.8 m .

gravitational potential energy = mgh

= 5000 x 9.8 x 259.8

= 1273 x 10⁴ J

Kinetic energy

=  1/2 mv²

= .5 x 5000 x 60²

= 900 x 10⁴ J

there is loss of kinetic energy = 373 x 10⁴ J.

This loss in energy is due to kinetic friction that came into action when the sled slipped downwards.

The lost energy is converted into heat energy or thermal energy.

Using the graph predict how many paper clipsa 7.5 v battery would pick up for both the 25 coil electromagnet and the 50 coil ele
enyata [817]

The graph between the strength of the magnet(number of paper clips picked) and battery is approximately a straight line.

For 25 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 5 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

For 50 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 15 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

B) 300 J/°C

Explanation:

Q = 3kJ = 3000J

ΔT = 10°C

3000J/10°C = 300J/°C

A wave transfers:<br> Water<br> particles<br> energy<br> matter
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Particles in a water wave exchange kinetic energy for potential energy. When particles in water become part of a wave, they start to move up or down. This means that kinetic energy (energy of movement) has been transferred to them

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area, but the plate gap in capacitor 1 is twice as big as capacitor 2. If capa
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Explanation:

\texttt{Capacitance, C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.

Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.

We have    

              \texttt{Capacitance, C}_1=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=C

Similarly for capacitor 2

               \texttt{Capacitance, C}_2=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_2}{d_2}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{\frac{d_1}{2}}=2\times \frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=2C

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C
